I started my first block today! Picking out fabrics was fun but a little nerve-wracking because I don't have any rules of thumb to follow. Well, that's not completely true. Rule of Thumb #1: Each square must have a light-colored fabric or white in it.
Still, the studio was feeling kind of quiet as I ironed yards of fabric and tried out combinations without anyone there to give me feedback, so I turned on Leap Year and rotary cut to my heart's content as Amy Adams fell in love with the dashing Matthew Goode. The pieces are much smaller than I anticipated, but following Camille Roskelley's instructions on her blog, Simplify, I felt confident chain-piecing the two blocks that I had chosen. I have officially started my quilt!
