I fell in love with the fabric! LOL D9P would be wonderful, if I can find enough coordinating fabrics. Thanks! :)

Now I'm wondering what I should do with it. Possibly a queen-sized quilt . . . or a twin-sized sofa quilt and something else . . . maybe some darling baby quilts. Problem is, I can't do it all, with only 4 yards! :p The main color is a sort of dusty mauve-pink, with lighter pink, touches of maroon, sage, and white. I'd want to complement it with sage and maroon, with maybe a bit of white.

I have a few projects ahead of this one but thought it'd be fun, to share the "dreaming/planning" phase, with my fellow-quilters. Question - when you see this fabric, which quilt design pops into your head? Ideas? :)

love, love, love this paisley. I've used it in a couple different colors but not the red.

I have no pattern ideas to offer, but lately it seems like I plan my fmq when I plan the pattern/fabric.
This would be so pretty when fmq the fabric pattern, the paisley, the flowers!
