It's almost my month for the Incredible Shrinking Quilters' Bee and I'm trying to get ahead of the game. I have a business trip to Boston planned for the beginning of October and need to have everything mailed before then.

I've never done a "Bee" before, and was a little apprehensive about the process of deciding on a design (I'll admit, that part was agonizing), selecting fabrics and calculating yardages. The block I finally settled on is pretty straightforward and once I started cutting the fabric, it was no big deal. I guess this was a case of over-thinking things.
I'm curious, do others find it hard choosing a project for a bee? I'm using fabrics from my stash instead of purchasing something new - that was the other issue, I was concerned that my fabrics may not be well-received by everyone. I'm interested in a wide range of fabrics styles including batiks and repros and don't always use the most trendy prints/designers.
