Hope to see you on the chats - I will be Vanessa M - I have set myself up on the chat already.

Here are my fabrics. I guess I should get my bias binding made ahead of time. I hope the instructions are correct and that I purchased enough of the dark gold. 16yds does seem like a lot of bias. I wonder if it is correct?

Oh, in regards to the backing. Last year I didn't buy mine until the quilt was finished. It was fine. They usually leave the directions posted for a month or so after Jan 1. So, you can actually find the directions after the fact if you happen to sleep in.
I hope we have as much fun as I had last year. I don't know if I'll make the chat room because I was always behind doing the sewing! :lol:
P.S. (I keep hitting the edit button to add more stuff here! :lol:
Connie, I love your fabric choices. They are great. It's going to be beautiful!

Connie - love your fabric choices!!! I am just waiting for the washing machine to stop, hang out the washing and then I'm off fabric shopping... cant wait to see what will inspire me this time...
I was thinking batiks but I will keep an open mind until I get there.
Do you go shopping with a fabric in mind or do you let the fabric inspire you? I tend to let the fabric talk to me, so what I usually think I'll get, turns out to be something totally different LOL.

I was going to go with batiks put found this interesting print....it called out to me. This is usually what happens to me. I come home with something that I did not have in mind.
Is that little piece of fabric going to make 16 yds of bias tape? I just might go out and buy some gold ric rac.
