Very pretty fabrics!

Marjpf 02-09-2010 04:45 PM

Green is my favorite. Can't wait to see what you make.

JanetM 02-09-2010 04:54 PM

Love your fabrics! I think you should go shopping with me to help me pick out fabrics. You have a real good eye for picking out fabrics that really compliment each other.

Lets us know what you are making with these beauties, okay?

Thank you for the compliment. It took me over an hour to pick them all out. I was originally going to go with 6 colors but I couldn't decide which one I wanted to get rid of - so 7 it is. The three fabrics in the back are for the border (darkest) and the squares. All seven fabrics are for the circles:

This is going to be soooooo pretty. Be sure to post your pictures when you can.

Love all the shades of green and also love the pattern.

Beautiful colors! I tend to gravitate toward green and blue!

scrappydoo 02-09-2010 07:17 PM

Love the green! I think its a peaceful color too, reminds me of spring and green trees. Can you tell I'm getting tired of looking at the snow?

Dorothy of Kansas 02-09-2010 07:26 PM

I like your pattern, did you design it?

jewelps 02-10-2010 05:50 AM

Love the the colors of green you picked can't wait to see what pattern you make.

Jingle 02-10-2010 06:40 AM

Your quilt should be beautiful. I always try for uneven numbers of fabrics, just like arranging silk flowers.

cuppi duke 02-10-2010 06:48 AM

They are gorgeous. What pattern are you using. I love all the greens, that's a hard color to find so many pretty pieces.

JUNEC 02-10-2010 06:50 AM

Fabric is awesome. Question, did any of this fabric come from your stash or was it all new from the store?

My problem is that I am buying fabric the I see and like, however none of it really goes together.

I've purchased over $150 in fabric this week, than found one of tghe fabrics that I love, has gone on sale;

I was going to purchase all the borders and tulips - oh my gosh - is my credit card going to be hurting by the end of the month.

belmer 02-10-2010 10:29 AM

great colors. Greens are my fave's I really like your pattern, can't wait to see the finished quilt.

I've just started quilting so my stash is pretty meager (sp?). I have some greens that I may use to keep things interesting but for 99% of the quilt, it will be fabric that I purchased specfically for it.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be a "buy only for a specific project" or a "buy it 'cause I like it" quilter. I do have some fabric I purchased while on vacation to Sedona and I don't know when I'm going to use it. But I'm content to wait and see.

Vacation fabric purchases are just like vacation calories - they don't count. :wink:

I like the way you look at this! I will have to remember to use this one on my next vacation too! :oops:

I really like your fabric choices and the pattern you designed. Can't wait to see the WIP!

springtime 02-11-2010 05:39 PM

very pretty. The colors are very soothing.

SewExtremeSeams 02-11-2010 08:52 PM

Nice color selection. When I asked my grandson what colors he would like for a quilt, he chose dark green and black... (he's 15). I couldn't invision one but your color choices have kinda given me some ideas of how to throw more light into his quilt. Thanks.

zz-pd 02-11-2010 10:08 PM

just gorgeous fab, just love those I walk around in joanns and wish I could get them.

Quilter2B 02-11-2010 10:20 PM

That will be very pretty; can't wait to see your progress.

Oklahoma Suzie 02-12-2010 03:36 PM

Margie 02-12-2010 04:09 PM
