I've been on a shopping spree, at local quilt shops and on-line. I think I'm done now. :wink: I wanted to share these with folks who would appreciate their beauty.

I needed to stock up on some lighter batiks and ones for another Fall Splash.

Love this one!! I don't think I can cut it up for log cabin blocks!

I'm always on the look out for new florals!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132420[/ATTACH]

New Moda Fresh Flowers.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132425[/ATTACH]

Top one is for floral log cabins, so is the second--the green side. The 3rd down is really a bright green--too bright for the floral log cabin. The yellow is for the back of doll quilts.

These are for Black and White Splash blocks, or Fall Splash. They were $5 a yard AND 25% off for one day!
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132543[/ATTACH]

Top one is a gorgeous Moda Summer's End--the camera can't catch the color. The red swirl is for barns. :-)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132774[/ATTACH]

I fell in love with these! Top is a Maywood--I went back for more! Bottom is a Moda...it'll be used in the Back to Nature I'll do this year.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132826[/ATTACH]

Okay--might as well show these--5" blocks for two 36" quilts for a new set of twins! I'll alternate blocks with the fabrics below. Aiden will get a blue border, Ava will get pink! :-)

Parents are both very musical, so these will work perfectly!

I like them too. It's always fun to look at new fabric. Be sure to show us what you make with them.

Murphy 02-10-2011 06:24 PM

Gorgeous. Love those zinnias. I think they are such a happy flower.

Karla, those are wonderful florals. I love florals too and have made some pillowcases with them in addition to putting them in quilts and wall hangings.

Thanks, Rhonda! I feel the large prints help to keep it from making one dizzy. :lol: Too many small prints can get crazy. I've read babies love and benefit from the contrast of black and white. I'm making them for the purpose of laying the babies on them once they can lift their heads. Their mama said these will be perfect for tummy time in the morning sun through the front window. I told her what was coming. :-D

katier825 02-10-2011 06:37 PM

I love them all! My favorites are the red, orange, yellows. I see they are Moda, what line are they from?

Vicki W 02-10-2011 06:37 PM

I love the gerber daisies...beautful purchase. Sounds like you had a glorious day.

roseOfsharon 02-10-2011 06:38 PM

Great fabrics! Love them all!

earthwalker 02-10-2011 06:39 PM

Thank you for the "fabric fix"....they are all really beautiful. Love your blocks for the twins...I too would not have thought to use the larger prints, ah, such talent here!

Most of those will go into my watercolor floral log cabin blocks. I think I'll save the two special ones though... another pattern will showcase them better. :D

grammysews4u 02-10-2011 06:44 PM

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 02-10-2011 06:46 PM

Karla, I still feel funny copy-cating your designs though!!
I just absolutely fell in love with them.
So I guess I don't feel THAT funny :D:D

I have been looking at the new Moda Florals they came out with and love them. I have a mennonite fabric shop close that is so reasonable she will never need to have a sale but Mon. she will be so will head over and get some of the Moda myself. Your fabrics all look so pretty.

Maggie_1963 02-10-2011 10:16 PM

Wow, great spree!! I really love the florals, and those blocks for the twins are too cute!

Patched 02-11-2011 12:56 AM

Love all your new fabric, looks like you are ready for spring. I can't believe you know what you are going to do with each piece already.

Are you talking about Golden Lane Fabrics??? If so I LOVE that place!! Ada is going to move her shop to a new location once she gets a house built. I like Edgewood, too, but Ada has so much more. And the prices sure can't be beat. I've never made it to Ada's sale because I'm always working... and now I'm full of fabric. :-D

mcdaniel023 02-11-2011 03:05 AM

Love them! Wow. Beautiful!

Gwenny 02-11-2011 05:17 AM

Yes it is Golden Lane Fabrics. She was telling me about moving the shop. Said it may be a year or so. She will be across from the Auction place near the Windmill. Not too sure on Edgewood have never heard of that one. hmmm
Her sale runs Mon-Sat. and is doing 15% off this year. Starting this coming Mon.
