GramE, love the tonals you found to go with your 'birds'. Perfect.

Just a reminder that under no circumstance will I knowingly accept anyone into this swap who has what I consider to be a track record of poor completion of their swap obligations. In other words, if you've left anyone hanging, forget it. I do not care that you are sorry. End of discussion.

These fabrics are darling! Congratulations on your fabric score. Enjoy your adventure.

Some of the pieces even have the price ($8.00 per yard) attached to them. All told, I estimate there are about 70 yards in the basket! All different colors and sizes. The largest is 6 yards and the smallest pieces seem to be fat quarters. You won't hear from me for a while because I am heading to Ireland with my sister, but I look forward to playing with your fabrics when I get home.

Sewbiz- You just had to go and tell, didn't you? LOL I have been told it was gross, but I just wanted someone's personal experience with it. I thought maybe it just didn't suit that person's taste. LOL
How does it go?? That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

The tonals that gram E picked are great, they probably will go with the fabric I picked. Ended up buying a colorful leaf pattern on the fabric. I will prefer tonals, no black or white. I"ve cut 18 pieces.

Welcome to the new boomers!
