So last weekend when Glenn was home, we made our quick trip around town for a few little errands. During that quick trip we made a quick stop at the quilt shop. I had been thinking about making a Christmas quilt for a while. And since I had some Christmas gift cash burning a hole in my pocket, I decided why not. Otherwise it would have probably been spent on someone else if it stayed in my wallet. After looking at a few choices I finalized the deal with a bright and cheery pack of fabric from Moda Fabrics called the 12 Days of Christmas. But all they had left was jelly rolls of the collection and I needed one of them and a layer cake. So on line I went and searched one out, ordered it and it arrived today!
It all looks so gorgeous! I can't wait to start getting the little mind rolling on how I want to put it together. It will be simple and patchy looking. No fancy cuts and shaping here.
Just look at all the fabulous prints!
I really must run so that I can finish the last few gifts that need to be made so that I can get to my wonderful fabric. A note to the family: Don't get in the way of my hook and these last projects. I won't be responsible for any 'growling' if I'm interrupted.

GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric! Not being a quilter, I'm completely mystified by your baking terminology, but I assume they refer to quantities (I'm not even clear on a 'fat quarter'.Sad.I know.)Looking forward to seeing your quilt, though!
ReplyDeletethat is gorgeous! I love the blues and the pinks with the reds/greens. I have not made a quilt in a while....hhhhmmmm *the wheels start turning*
ReplyDeleteI love those fabrics. Nothing has made me feel happier over the past couple years as red and aqua together. I can't wait to see how it comes out!
ReplyDeletehi kar,
ReplyDeletewow!!! wonderful fabric...i love the red and green...it looks wonderful.

hugs regina
Growl away....I've been known to get a bit snippy when I get interrupted (especially on deadline!). And you must have swooned when that fabric came. I'd leave it out and pet it whenever I walked by -- yup, I'm weird that way.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that I love the fabrics! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl, I know the feeling trying to get everything done in time. I love Moda layered cakes! Oh gosh all that yummy yummy fabric, can't wait to see it done and I have a feeling it wont be long! Happy sewing
ReplyDeleteThose are such great colors! I made only one quilt ever...probably won't make another one. So much work :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors...can't wait to see it when it's finished.
