I agree about working on the fabrics that speak to me first. I open each envelope as it arrives. Sometimes (no offense) I think, "What will I do with this?" and other times it comes easy. The large scale prints give me the most challenge. The fabric is beautiful, but when I have to cut it up into smaller pieces it takes on a new personality. My first idea is often to fussy cut it and make a block that features the fabric's prominent design.
Can't wait to get started!
