I really have made a dint in the stash! On the weekend I made this top. Now I'm waiting for the sale on Thursday at Fabricland, 40 % off for members on everything, so I need spray basting badly and will see if I can find something in new fabrics too.
.
Yes, I'm going to buy some fabric. It will be in neutral shades as I have ordered from Green Fairy Quilts a bunch of different items she had on the site. It's so much cheaper than Moda, yet I bought all Moda fabrics. How does she do that?
.
I'm very excited about it all and if the fabrics come before Thursday, well wahoo, I will be able to match up some of the colours.
.
The spring weather we've been experiencing has gone elsewhere to make other folks happy I am sure. Although all the spring break people that have returned from warm weather are experiencing rain, sleet and basically sucky weather.
.
OMG. I just realized that the photo is on it's side...I don't know how that happened, but the quilt is square, I took the photo upright and when it downloaded...opps on the side and I have no idea how that happened.
.
I have still some 4" squares that are cut, I can make nine patch for a project of kids blankets I suppose or even more lap quilts. I like those anyway.
.
http://greenfairyquilts.blogspot.com/ is also having a giveaway this week. I am never lucky at these things and have noted it many times. As I said, she does have great prices so check her out. You know me, price is everything...good luck too if you enter....no, bad luck as I want to win the jelly roll that she is giving away.

Cute quilt top!
I just ordered some Authentic from Judi this morning. She's got a great blog and store. I wish you luck in the giveaway...I had enough in February to last a while:)
Very cute little quilt - and I see the orange in it! Not sure where your nice weather went, cause it sure didn't come our way!

I didn't notice the picture was on its side till you mentioned it! Blogspot does that with some photos. I've started to turn all my photos clockwise once and then turn them back before I upload them - takes less time than re-uploading pics. (You can do them all at once in the thumbnail view in explorer, just highlight them, right click and choose the turn option).
Love the border, speaking of borders in prints that don't occur in the center ;) (re: my post about spring quilt).
Best of luck with the fabricland sale, and I'll check out the blog/shop you mentioned!
Cheers,
Christine
Even sideways your quilt looks FABULOUS!!!
Quiltingly Yours

I thought you had interesting furniture, :-}
I do not know why you are parting with your "orange" phase, it suits you so well, and it is always successful! Another cute one, Nancy.
