I'm sure it will build quickly--fabric seems to multiply!
Thanks to everyone for the input! |
I was telling my husband how helpful everyone on this board has been. When I mentioned the solids question I asked, he said,"Go to the website with the best price and buy one of each color--my treat"! What a guy! :) I got 28 (count 'em, 28) different colors at $2.99 per yard from Marshall's Dry Goods. Can't wait for them to arrive! :thumbup:
...and,no, ladies, I won't trade him! :D |
Sounds like your husband is an enabler also! Enjoy! (Sounds like your next quilt should be for him!)
|
It is! I pieced the blocks today. :)

I have a hard time using solids. Too modern for me. I prefer tone on tones that read solid.
|
I can understand that. I tend to use them as accents. I have a weakness for very busy prints--the solids tone them down a bit. When I look at my GGM's quilts, I suspect she had the same idea. Her quilts were mostly cut from clothing, but I think she must have sewed and worn pretty loud dresses! :shock: My GM's are pretty sedate, so I'm guessing that in her the gene was recessive. :o

Whittles Fabrics have great prices, you might want to check them out. No matter how much you buy, $5.oo shipping.

I knew better than to do that! He loves that I enjoy making quilts, but doesn't really understand the vastness of the selection of fabrics out there. I didn't want to exploit his generousity!

Whittles does look nice. I'll keep it in mind, thanks!
