It might be fun to start something Christmasy/Winter in August so it could be finished for October or November.

You can shop Marshalls Dry Goods on line and through Amazon. I know, I like to feel the fabrics too, but on line is at least one way to get stuff cheap.

I have lots of stars fabrics and some really nice stripes. I just don't know what to do with a layer cake in quilting. Seems it would get really sticky :)

LOL! Just got excited with that one!!! BTW, I'm going to be doing a Christmas in July swap in July. 6-1/2" squares. Sign up will be up in a couple of weeks. :)

Ooops, I posted on the other thread that Fall or harvest with all the browns/oranges/rusts/pumpkins/squash of that season might be nice. I don't have any of that type of fabric. I'm not really into halloween fabric, but do like autumn colors.

Also, I remember a discussion about landscape fabrics...
