Well if we did I can't find it sorry.

These are my hard earned hard shopped for fabrics. They all arrived this week and are washed and ready to quilt. (that red I soaked twice, washed three times and did who knows how many rinses!)

Each photo is the makeup for one quilt. I will have one diamond cross style planned to be full/queen and one big giant red star planned to be queen/king.

This photo (take by dh does not do this fabric justice. I have Moda Candyland, Wintergraphix, Kings Road Belle, Victoriana, and some no names that were just beautiful! The white fabric is white on white with mini roses all over it.

These are for my own personal adaptation of a fat quarter quilt pattern. The hearts (tan on white) will run in strips between my fat quaters.

My too! That was a Walmart find, it's so pretty I bought all they had on the roll (about 1/3 of a yard more than I was planning so no great shakes). I'm really hoping when I'm done with the quilt there will be enough leftover to make a curtain for my "fish" bathroom! It's nice and not at all thin too!

Hmmm, how come I've never seen that one at WalMart? LOL I think I shall protest :lol: :lol: :lol: It would make an awesome curtain! Good idea!!

And I can't remember where in the bolts I found it! Once in a Walmart blue moon I guess.

One of the blues and one of the reds are the same print, first I picked it up in blue (I had the person getting the red quilt with me at the time) and she said "that's not blue!" I stuck my toungue out at her and said I know but it matches the blue, maybe I can do something else with it. Seriously what else could I say, it was pretty and I liked the Red better than I'd liked the blue...

The blue is next to the dolphins and the red is the upper left.

I think you picked out lovely patterns and colors. I know they will look super in any quilt you make.
Maybe it is good that our Walmart does not sell fabric, because if they did I would be there buying reds and blues. :wink:
Have fun with the fabric and the quilt making.

Very pretty fabrics. I love the dolphins.... Oh girl, now I want a dolphin quilt. LOL your a bad influence..... (hug)

For the Star I'll be using the wintergraphix pattern. http://www.inthebeginningfabrics.com...tergraphix.pdf And as you can see I wont be using all those multicolored fabrics. These are strickly two color quilts. The only In the Beginning fabric I bought is the Red on White Eyelash there in the center, and I moved that from where it was, to take the place of the black diamond you see in the star. I think it has 16 points.

Now you all have me worried I have the dolphins off to the left edge of the quilt, should I move it to be the center block?

Only the one red came from Walmart all the rest I ordered online, but I did have amazing luck and picked up all the blues at Joann's and Walmart. Which now that I think about it, that means I didn't pay over $4.44 a yard for the blues! :D
