Yes, but this will be lots of each of your two colors—formally known as the “Not Your Ordinary Two-Color Mystery.” Fabric selection is fun: select two colors, then five or six fabrics of each of the two colors.

And, as always, you should be well on your way to having a good start on a quilt when you leave class on Friday.
