Ok...decided I have to go to the Quilt shop...we are going to be driving by there anyways today. Its and hour away...but my favorite shop in Pelham, NH Bits and Pieces. I have a bunch of batiks that I have decided to use and was going to use grey cotton but slept on it..and decided to bit the bullet and buy a few yards of grey batik of the strips - I am making the falling charms except my blocks are 6 1/2 inches - The fabric is so pretty that I wanted larger blocks. I wanted to use 8 inch but the hubby likes the 6 1/2 inch. This will be for the king size quilt that I am making. In the winter two quilts are just perfect....for these cold winters.
