This is the last of summer purchases... and they were from ebay. I paid a good price for them, and they were worth it. I've never felt such high quality fabric. And the colors... well..see for yourself... :D

Won't this make a grand Irish Chain or "Sunny Day?" :D

And for the next floral log cabin....

I'm not sure what pattern is best for this one... it's too big to cut into 1.5" strips...don't worry, I'll think of something. :wink:
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...um/fabric3.jpg[/img]

And even though my 19 and 22 year old aren't married, and won't be for at least two years, this one MUST be made into something for a grand child. :lol:

This was the only disappointment... it was advertised as black and white, but yet again, it's black and cream. But, I have so many black and creams now--I'll make something with them all. :roll: I love the design.

It was a very happy package. :D

I DO like them all, but especially the 2nd one! I actually made an apron out of the 2nd one a coupla years ago -- I had an orange/yellow plaid that was the 2nd color (for pockets and lining). It's was gorgeous! Too bad I gave it away!

Jim's Gem 08-31-2009 02:15 PM

Beautiful Fabrics!!! I am especially fond of Floral fabrics!! I like to use some in almost every quilt I make!
Your bears are the cutest and I agree, they will be fantastic in a grandbaby quilt!!

Darlene 08-31-2009 02:17 PM

Wow they are all so pretty and bright which I love.

Eddie 08-31-2009 02:27 PM

All beautiful fabrics. It's such a good feeling to find fabrics you just really feel a connection with. :)

CajunQuilter2 08-31-2009 04:41 PM

Wow that first one looks like you could just pick the flowers---it is awesome. All of them are really beautiful for that matter.

Marcia 08-31-2009 04:45 PM

Great fabrics!!! I know you are jazzed! Congrats.

Shemjo 08-31-2009 04:49 PM

How lovely! I know you will use each one and make them all even more beautiful! :lol:

katier825 08-31-2009 05:05 PM

Very pretty! My favorite is the first one! :)

sharon b 08-31-2009 05:09 PM

Favorite Fabrics 08-31-2009 06:12 PM

I really like the first floral one. It looks like something by South Sea Imports or Wilmington... who is it made by?

Lisanne 08-31-2009 06:33 PM

I love florals, too. The teddy brears are very cute. I'll be intereted to see what you end up doing with them.

butterflywing 08-31-2009 06:38 PM

karla, i don't know if we're voting :wink: but i go for the first floral and that cream and black scroll.

littlehud 08-31-2009 06:50 PM

I love your fabrics. Florals are one of my favorites. You got some beautiful fabric. Thanks for sharing.

tlrnhi 08-31-2009 08:33 PM

Karla, they are all beautiful!
I'm drooling....where's my bib hiding?

gaigai 08-31-2009 10:40 PM

Oooooh, Karla, they are just luscious! I would love to do an OBW with the top one! I can't wait to see what you do with them. You always have the most beautiful ideas!

I had that same thought! And the teddies are so cute I could eat them with a spoon! Thanks for the eye candy, Karla! :D

Quilt4u 09-01-2009 01:33 AM

barnbum 09-01-2009 02:42 AM

barnbum 09-01-2009 02:52 AM

Oh! I never would have figured that out--but I was getting pretty creative trying. :lol: Thanks.

gaigai 09-01-2009 04:56 AM

WOW! I keep coming back to that top fabric. It is tooo gorgeous! May I ask who it's by? I may have to hunt some of that down for myself.

Terri-pass me that bib!!

Bevanger 09-01-2009 05:56 AM

Oooooooooo I love them all. I can't wait to see them in quilts

Harmony 09-01-2009 08:12 AM

I love those florals! I know you'll find some fabulous way to use them!

barnbum 09-01-2009 08:59 AM

I'm in my classroom--I'll get those names to you when I get home.

The seller sent a refund for the black and cream! I never expected that--and feel kind of bad she did it. I told her how much I loved them all--and that even if it was cream, I'd find a use for it. :shock:

barnbum 09-01-2009 01:06 PM

Okay--I'm home...
I highly recommend getting these fabrcis from [img]http://www.sew-creative-fabrics.com/[/img]
She's an awesome seller. :wink: And I'm sure she has more of each of these.

The "Peach Pink Floral Garden Mix" is a South Sea Imports piece.
The "Wildflower Orange Purple Blue" is by Marcus Brothers
The "Dahlias Sunset Yellow Orange" is by Timeless Treasures.

nativetexan 09-01-2009 01:14 PM

Karla: The large flowered fabric might be gorgous in a Kaleidescope block where you fussy cut and each area of the K. has a different flower rotating around into a circle. Like the green in your fabric might be the point of the K then each of the colored flowers would be another focus point in the K. I haven't made one of these but have signed up to take a class next month. Your fabric just looks perfect (to me) for the K. blocks.

Tippy 09-07-2009 03:50 AM

They are all lovely, but the piece with the dahlias is breathtaking!!! I agree, it would make a fantastic OBW.

quiltwoman 09-07-2009 04:27 AM

Glorious! Makes me happy just looking at the florals. I already have plans for your teddy bears- :lol:
