I've waiting 4 weeks for today to be here. Why? Because this is the week I start a whole new set of quilts! And the first task is picking fabric. Does picking fabric make your hear race. Does it race in a GOOD way or ...mmmm.. a terrified way?
Picking out fabric for projects has to be my all time favorite part of quilting. I quilt so I can play with fabric. I love to see how the different prints go together once I cut them up! I'm gathering fabrics from the shelves and laying them out for review
The fun part of this set of projects is collecting a range of fabrics that will all work together in several quilts. These are some "Marmalade" from Bonnie & Camille
I'm pinning combo's up on the design wall. The floral and orange is my "Bobbins and Bits" (in stores in Sept!).. the Grey dots are from Sweetwater.. don't they look awesome together?
As you can see.. I made a few decisions... the string bucket is getting full!
Do you LOVE picking fabric.. or need some help?
If you need help, what are MOST afraid of? Tell me in the comments and I'll do a series on selecting fabric!
