My fabric went out today, and is scheduled to arrive Thursday. Wish it could have gone out earlier but we were out of town for the past two weeks.
So I hope you like the fabric. A few years back I couldn't sleep and found this fabric at about 2:00 in the morning. and it arrived a few days later! I don't really remember buying it but I must have! Growing up I loved the Wizard of Oz books and the movie. Did you know it was a series of books? L. Frank Baum, the original author wrote 14 and after his death several other authors added to the series to have over 40 books.
So the fabric is done in the style of the illustrations from the book , but with the colors of the movie (in the book Dorothy wears silver shoes and not ruby ones). I will be sending character fabric, ruby slipper fabric,and yellow brick road fabric. For those of you getting the ruby slippers and yellow brick road I included a small swatch of the character fabric so you can get a better idea of the color family. Other than that, there are no other guidelines. Just have fun with it! I also bought some panel fabric which I will make simple blocks from to be mixed into this quilt. The blocks are about 8.5 inches so I will add a border to work with the swap blocks. I included pictures so you can see. I'm super excited to bring my childhood favorite to life and thanks to you all for helping!
