These are the fabrics I bought. Do you remember last year when I made the quilt for the auction and used some Santa fabric that was x-rated?? Well, I couldn't resist buying another variety. This time it is definitely G-rated! :-)
I've yet to decide what I'll do with these fabrics. Because the prints are so large, they lend themselves to quilts with larger pieces.
And here are the pillow case fabrics.
I think they will be fun for the kids. I will probably work on them this week. My friend Claire is coming over tomorrow morning to sew and maybe I'll do them then. I have 6 triangle gatherings to get done, having fallen a little behind again!!! Maybe one of these days I'll actually put something together.
In just a few weeks, we'll be getting ready for the Sisters Quilt Show in Oregon. I'm very excited about it and the chance to spend days sewing together with friends!
Great idea for those yummy fabrics--Have you read Roberta Horton's "The Fabric Makes the Quilt"--it deals with using whole pieces of large prints...one of the very first
ReplyDeletequilting books I bought and I still re-read it...love that G-rated Santa (but the x-rated one was cuter ah hahaha);))) hugs, Julierose
Love your yummy fabrics! Are you going to do Temecula's Marvelous Mini Monday? I shouldn't start something but it's too cute!

ReplyDeleteJust looking at these fabric and I can hear the waves crashing on the shore, seagulls arguing and smell the salty ocean air. Where's my pina colada? :^D Enjoy the sewing with friend tomorrow. ;^)
