Some totally awesome grey chambray!  can you see this for a background in a modern quilt?
Oh, yes!

And a set of drunkard's path rulers .

New Fabric Comes to Live Wiith Me

Yes, I bought more from the shop that is closing.  this time she has $4 a yard but the catch is you have to take the entire amount that is left.  I am hoping she will now be rid of all her fabric and I don't have to go back.  She claims that today is the last day she will open.

I went for solids.

Greys.

And fun.

And tossed in these batiks because!

Oops! I Did It Again!

I went to the fabric  store that is closing and bought more fabric.  23.5 yards to be exact.

It all started  because she reduced fabric prices even further.  And I kept thinking about those stupid bees.  I REALLY wanted those  bees last time but dumped them in consideration of getting too much fabric.  You know.

 I wanted those bees, so back I go, spurred on by the lowering prices.


Then I saw a backing piece for a Santa quilt I designed 6 o 7 years ago and won first prize in the contest.  It was just a top, put aside because it is complicated to quilt.  Well, now I have a backing for it and it should be part of my OPAM projects for later this year.

Then I saw a pile of panels for $2.50.  Great kids quilts for the many people Carrie knows who are having babies.  They all need quilts!

Then I thought, hmmmmm.......what a great piece those circles are.  And the blue and yellow fell in line.  Not sure about the orangy pinky piece, but it jumped in as a possibility.  I am thinking now that a nice white Kona will be better in that spot.

Paula kept picking up that middle print.  And WHOA NELLIE! it just jumped into my pile as well!  Along with its buddies the blue and the green.  Maybe some Kona white here as well.



I needed to think about a back for the London Tower Tea Towel quilt and this yellow batik seemed to be in the same tonal range as the ones in the quilt front.  I am sure it will work.




 And what do you know.......this BIG PRINT came home too.  I am thinking a nice stack and whack type quilt with black sashing might be in store for it.



I got a backing for  this quilt top that still needs borders to be a top.  But this gold is a fabulous match for the batik top.  Can't remember what this was called and three people asked me what it was when I was in the shop.

 I bought these two as stash pieces for future projects with my Fiber group.  I am sure they will find places to live.  I am very sure!

And one more thing.......I thought I had included this in the stack but it must not have gotten to the final cutting table.  It was the backing for this Elephant Quilt for Carrie.  So I guess I will just HAVE to make ONE MORE TRIP to the quilt shop.

Darn, darn, darn.............just sayin'
