Just A Little Bit of Fabric
Today I bought just a little bit of fabric. I went to the quilt shop to buy some red and green Moda marbles to use on the Dear Jane Christmas signature swap quilt I want to put together. Vivian over at http://sewathomeonpineridge.blogspot.com/ gave me the idea to use a crisp white as a sashing. I like that idea, but with only 150 blocks it will be an awfully small quilt although the Dear Jane only has 169. Anyway I bought 2 yards each of Christmas red and green Moda marbles to use with the blocks somehow. Where is it? It's still in the sack, and I forgot to take photos of it. Where is the white for the sashing? I didn't remember to buy it. Why you ask? Well because I found these fabrics. I think they are all Phillip Jacobs, and most of them will go in my Hearts and Flowers applique' quilt.
These four fat quarters are what I'm collecting for an I Spy quilt. I don't know who I would give an I Spy quilt to right at the moment, but I saw a good pattern idea that a friend showed at a gathering and I thought I'd better start collecting conversation prints. Always be prepared!!!
And, I bought the Turning Twenty book. I've seen a lot of talk on the blogs about Turning Twenty quilts, and I wanted to see what it is all about. There are several variations of the original Turning Twenty book - I believe I saw 6 different ones today. I bought this one because there is a quilt in the book done in all Kaffe fabrics.
Now I have to figure out where I put the red and green for the Christmas quilt and get busy on that. Hope you are all busy stitching.....or maybe shopping. Have a good day and enjoy the beautiful fall weather.

Pretty, pretty fabrics! I can see how you could be so distracted by them and forget the white for sashing! LOL Sounds like something I would do!
ReplyDeleteCute little prints for your eye spy quilt. Have you been collecting for that for a long time? Do you have lots of prints set aside for it?
Happy stitching!
Can't wait to see those new fabrics in your applique blocks. I've forgotten why what I came for in a shop many times. It's easy to get distracted.
ReplyDeleteI have managed to purchase fabric twice for a Turning Twenty quilt but have yet to make one. Maybe that would be a good Leader/Ender after the log cabin is finished......
