Irish obsession
#51
ABSOLUTELY! I looked that pattern up when I saw all the gorgeous ones in the picture achives. I love that you put the octagons together by halves so that there are no set-in seams. Now to find the perfect material! I just hate when I need to shop for more material

How do you people do this???? I looked at the whole fabric and couldn't even begin to think what to do with it. Personally, I think it is too busy to use w/o cutting somehow, but the kalidascope is perfect! It shows off the individual elements of the fabric (which are pretty neat).... Hmmmmm, wonder if our Joann's has it? $12.50/yd!!!!

We traveled afar to find more of the two fabrics our JoAnn's was out of. I found the perfect OBW fabric. Thanks, guys, another quilt in the drawer to be created, but it's going to be GORGEOUS! Anyway, back to the Irish print. The lady who cut the fabric for us commented that she'd seen a posting on the quilting board about this fabric. I told her that was me! So, we not only found our fabrics, and some new fabrics, we met a QB member.

I would do a Stack-N-Wack quilt. Kayrn
My roommate fell in love with this fabric in JoAnn's and spent 3 hours playing with patterns and coordinating fabrics. Without a plan, she bought 1/3 yard to bring home and show me. I also fell in love with it, but I knew EXACTLY which pattern to make. I will post a picture of the fabric. I would love to hear what the creative people on this board would do with it, then I will post what we decided to do with it. We both have plenty of WIP, but we just could not resist starting on this fun quilt.
