Default Made fabric selection. First quilt. 9 patch. Material reminds me of Mom

Went to Whittle's today with DW. Spent $24.65 (thank you honey for your gift) on three fabrics I, in my newness think will complement each other. Looking through the fabrics, I was drawn to those that reminded me of Mama and Daddy when I was young, back in the early 1960's. Green for border and sashes. The fine flower pattern has just a touch of green which I think will be brought out by the sash, and the larger flowers have a little green and a buff background I think will go nicely. The purple flowers are there because.....because..... heck. Just 'cause I like em. And It's my quilt.
$3.50 per yd x 2.5
$2.30 per yd X 2.5
$3.50 per yd X 2.5

6% Kentucky sales extortion (tax)

Still need to decide on binding and backing. Will be using heirloom batting (in stock in the stash)
WooHoo!! I'm ready to roll tomorrow. Don

Make sure you share a picture of your quilt when you finish it. Better yet, share pictures as you begin it. Sounds like fun.

I can't wait to see it completed. May I suggest a purple binding?
