I made it to my LQS today. I have fabric to play with! YAY!!!!!!

Both projects are for wedding gifts. Wallhangings/tabletoppers/whatever they want to use it for.
Using "Thinking Outside the Block" pattern. Wanted to design it to represent the union of the bride & groom, but in a more modern way.

I'll post updates as I make progress on them. Have to be ready for April 12th & April 30th weddings, so I hope they go together quickly.

ETA: Wanted to say that both of the prints that will be the center squares I bought here from fellow QB members.

Beautiful fabrics. Can't wait to see the finished wall hangings. I have this pattern too. Fun to see the variations on the fabrics used for it.

So I'm having some trouble with the colors of the fabrics I chose for the first wallhanging. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111333-1.htm
Which does not surprise me at all. As soon as I got word that the Groom's fave color was Green & the Bride's was Teal I had a feeling this was going to be a challenge to pull off. The colors look great together in the print I found, but having a hard time getting them to look co-hesive when pulled out for the rows in the log cabin blocks used to make the Thinking Outside the Block pattern.

Wonderful fabric selection. Look forward to seeing the finished quilts. Great start.

Waiting to get to the fabric store so I can change out that light green color. Had to work late last night (10pm) & stores were long closed by the time I got off. Hopefully tonight works. I am getting impatient & just want to sew!
