Oh, BTW, My name is 'Columbia River Jane'. How's that? Has nothing to do with my DJ but it locates me.

what an execellent idea if my DH starts to complain maybe i'll just remind him of the amount of money he pulled out of savings to get his motorcycle. :twisted:
Ladies just be thankful those DH are there to complain. My DH told me if I came home with another piece of material he would divorce me. Quite a strong threat. Well 58 years and he didn't.

I mentioned to hubby about organising something with my LQS to get the fabric I need for this and he said "don't be silly, just buy it". So I mentioned just how much the fabric will cost and after he finished choking and his face lost that purple shade, he muttered quietly something about it being a good idea to talk to the quilt shop and organise something. LOL

Not required, but i thought it would be nice to sort of name them in some way so we can remember who has what colorway, design etc. I have no recall now which thread it's in, but it's here in the last 2-3 days in one of the DJ threads. For example, mine is:

Modern Jane in coral/red/turquoise/brown

That's because I'm using modern print fabrics, in those colors. Others have named theirs, or are calling it something while they are working on it, but it doesn't necessarily identify the colorway. Klue is being kind enough to match up our names with the "master" list of DJ quilters she puts out every once in a while.

I bought a charm pack of all the fossil ferns to make sure I liked the fabrics before I bought them. Good thing, too - the red that I picked was way darker in person.

Here's a pic of the colors I'll be using:
Awesome! Are you doing a white background?
