Yea, it's fun playing & fondling the fabrics, but also scary as I think about just how many I actually have - very scary!!! I think I could make 100 of these quilts & not even make a dent in my batiks.

Kathy, that one is sooo pretty! All these little blocks just seem to sparkle..aren't they great?? Love it!
My LQS sells these little packets called 911 paks. They contain fabrics that go together, there are 11 (I think) pieces in each one and they are cut 9" x 11". Funnily enough, I had one of those paks (I buy them to give as gifts) in my AOTH colors. I've used several of the pieces already. I think I'll have to look for another one. They originally did it for appliquer's emergencies..you know when you just need a snippet of something in just the right colors? I know they are fairly expensive- $9.11..but they are great to have around!

Patti that sounds like a great idea to have fabric cut in little pieces.
All the blocks are really looking scrumptious, I love them all, each one is going to be so individual when its all put together.

I tried making those brownies with the chocolate chip cookie dough in them - you know the ones with the globs!
Cheated - big time - box brownies & tube of cookie dough. Think next time I may gently fold the globs into the batter instead of placing them on the top - didn't sink in like I thought they should. WalMart had Pillsbury brownie mix for $1 - should have bought a case! They also have their Great Value brand of cookie dough!, so this batch was under $3. Really yummy, but I wanna try the other way, too, for comparison.
If you start out first thing in the morning, you should be here just in time for dinner.
