I liked the colors a lot too. I bought the brown/blue medallion fabric on clearance for $3 a yard. Got 5 yards and made dresses for DD and myself, and the lunch sack, and i still have nearly a yard left.

The blue is 100% polyester, as near as I can tell, and I bought a large quantity of it at a thrift store. I'm slowly using it up for trims and lining on different things. The color is great, but I don't want to use it for a garment, it will be too hot, or a quilt, since it isn't even a little cotton, etc.

Your quilt is sooooo cute! I'm sure it will be loved. :lol: I lived in Albuquerque for 18 yrs. The first 8 years were within walking distance of the Balloon Fiesta park, so we had lot's of balloons flying over our home. Went to a lot of the events! Absolutely loved balloon glow at night, when they would fire up the burners and all the incredible colors! :thumbup: Fantastic.

The balloon quilt is Terrific, and the quilting is Wonderful - all the clouds and 1/4-moons, and stars. wow. I've never quilted from a stencil before, although have always wondered how that would be. the lunch bag is cute too. how happy you must be to have these projects turn out so nicely!
