Twinriver I know how you feel about special stash I stare at favorites too and think no I want to save that for me one day I am making that for me and then that day doesnt come and I grab it and use it and its fun and like making it for me and by the time I am finished working with it I am totally ok with sharing it because I did get to quilt with it 
AND YOUR DOING THAT FOR ME doing the happy dance and its only 5 am! I love that fabric such a fabric.. well I surelove metallics in my fabrics they make it so .. happy and warm and like .. Christmas all year. The funny thing here is two days before you told me you had that fabric and were thinking of using it for me I had ordered the blue/agua one with the mosiac like stars? in the middle. It arrived yesterday. We were both on the same mindset too funny. I have had trouble finding a quilt with movement pattern for you. Any you want to suggest or is it ok if I go traditional in the blocks?
I am in love with the fall fabric posted. The first bunch said come get me! come get me! Is that Robert Kaufman? he had this autumn line that was so beautiful. toasty warm those fabrics .. my sister told me that if I had calling cards they would have pumpkins on them because I was so into fall. I am into fall silly girl because its the beginning of decorating for the real seasons and holiday. Summer just stumps me but come Sept its all hands in. Glass pumpkins, fall leaves.. yes that fabric has my name on it. Send it this way!

HEY MINDLESS?!?!
OK here is a peak for you, I pulled all the blues out of my stash and paired them with some yellows. Please let me know what you think so far. I am not certain if I will leave them in the 'brick' size or cut them down smaller. But this is what I was thinking these are rows running vertical with a nice cream or white background with vines and flowers appliqued on .. what do ya think? [ATTACH=CONFIG]386614[/ATTACH]

Progress on the last applications is being made. Made one match tonight, and am waiting to hear back about allergies on another, and depending on the answer to THAT question, I can make a third and final match! Assuming all that goes well, the swap is now closed.
Linny, I have a mac and post photos all the time. When you're typing a message in a forum, you should see a row of little icons across the top of the typing window. The third one from the right is an image icon. Click on that to upload a photo.
IF you do not see a row of icons when you are typing a response, then click on "Go Advanced" underneath the typing window. That should take you to a typing box with the icons.

okay i have picked a pattern and went shopping for background material (which i never have enough on hand ever). Also picked up some other prints that i liked in the store but now that I have them home i'm not so sure they suit the pattern i want to do. Am sitting back and letting it percolate in the back of my mind. we shall see what transpires. In the meantime, I shall catch up on my NYB blocks and PaintmeJudy's Mystery quilts.
