This year, I am quite determined to work on some of the projects that have been in my stash for way too long.... I pulled the fabrics.... all but the two bottom fabrics were purchased at 2010 Knoxville Quilt Show. The bottom two fabrics I found online... all too pretty to be sitting in the stash for so long, don't you agree?
Next, I went looking for the pattern for this project. I had filed it a plastic sheet "pocket" in a notebook with other quilty patterns and put the notebook safely away. But where? *lol* I know that never happens to you all.
I was inspired by a quilt made from this pattern using vintage sheets created by Jeni Baker of In Color Order.

I'm going to study the various fabrics, pairing them by color and value, before I start working on this quilt. Also, my daughter and granddaughters will be arriving this afternoon to spend a few days of our mutual Spring Breaks! Stay tuned for more developments on the quilting front...
This will be such a wonderful Spring/Summer quilt. Happy stuff.
ReplyDeleteAnd more happy stuff with grandma time ahead. Looking forward to seeing all of the stuff you get into with the girls! : )
The perfect fabrics for that patern Freda.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Roos
A very 'Spring' looking pile of fabric......
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern too.
Over the weekend I realised how much fabric I have accumulated in my short quilting life (about three years) plus how much fabric I have from the community quilting group so I, too, am trying to use what's here and not shop for more! I've begun well, I went to the discount store today and bought nothing -- no yarn, and no fabric! Not even a notion!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time with your family.
Those fabrics are really pretty and springy. Just what the doctor ordered, at least here--it snowed yesterday and is snowing again! In southern Virginia! In late March! Enjoy your visit!
ReplyDeleteThe colors of that fabric just sing Spring/Summer. I bet that your Granddaughters will lay claim to that quilt as soon as they see the fabric. Happy Quilting!
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty fabrics. Yummy. Have fun with the family visit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, Freda! You inspire me.
ReplyDeleteI have accumulated enough fabrics in the last few years to make several quilts, some coordinated and many scrappy. I've started using mostly scraps and stash, buying little. .
Now this looks like fun! Great fabrics and a pattern should give you good play time this week.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have so much fun with all that pretty fabric! Enjoy your family!
ReplyDelete'Scuse me while I wipe the drool off the keyboard! Love your fabrics! So fun and cheerful! To me, this pattern design has a randomness, like a collage. Orderly chaos :-) Have fun with your girlies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt those fabrics will make! It is spring break here, too - enjoy your family time.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have all the "girls" together!
ReplyDeleteHugs
looks like it will be a fun project.
ReplyDeleteFreda it is going to be beautiful. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely be staying tuned for this.
