I dropped mine in the mail today.
Here are the fabric I've selected. I've asked for No White for the pink/purple pastel - but no asks for the red/blue white print.
I had selected a brown print (third photo) but after cutting and starting to iron, figured out it's a cotton/poly blend (mostly cotton) so I'll keep them for myself. This is fabric I bought from my sister several years ago (bought her stash of about 300 yards), and she had bought it when she worked in a quilt shop in the early 80's. So it's 40 years old. No markings on the selvages - I figured after all this time, it deserves to be in a quilt!
I've thought it would be neat to make a duplicate block of each one I make to share, so the brown will be used for that.

Pretty fabrics, MacyBaby! Love the ditsy red/blue flowers in the center.
In the 80's I bought quilting cottons from Walmart, when they had big, fully staffed fabric departments. I still run into some of those oldies in my stash occasionally. They bring back happy memories of making baby quilts and outfits for my kids.

Love your fabrics Macybaby!
Just got the kitty quilt from Boom 30 finished. It needs to be loaded onto the long arm to be quilted, I'm debating if I should have DH digitize cats for the design or just plan to do an overall stipple, decisions!
