i work at Joann's and a lot of fabrics seem to scream to me. i have learned to tell them NO until they are on a really good sale. i bought the rest of a bolt of fabric with a gold-ish background with navy and green floral on it. i dislike GOLD, but it called to me, and now i am collecting fabrics to go with it and hopefully tone the gold down.
i did hear a voice as i was working on a baby quilt for my grandchild-to-be. it said 'YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A BOY, DON'T YOU?" so i gave the pink one i had made to a little girl born just before NATHAN was born and the just-in-case blue one was his by default. the ones that seem to talk the loudest though are the ones that are the focal point ones, and then i have to come up with something to go with them.
