Got some fabrics!

I finally have a pic to show. I went to my LQS on Thursday and picked up this group of Kaffe fabrics. They're all fat quarters except for the gorgeous floral in the back-that's the end of a bolt. Sad news-when these bolts are done, they're not ordering any more Kaffe. They've had these bolts for over a year and nobody's bought.(Thank goodness I discovered you all!!) I asked the clerk who does all the cutting and customer work why she thought they didn't sell. She told me that our area is just extremely traditional and they like the "country" colors-like Thimbleberries. Oh well, it's their loss, right?
Personally, I love bright colors and lots of them so onward and upward!

I have begun the Roseville Album quilt after seeing the pattern on Kathie's blog. Ordered the 10 yards of background fab and pattern from Glorious Color with speedy delivery. I love that the pattern is full sized. Washed the whole shebang and held my breath while cutting all the blocks and borders of the background. I need to prep the circles before the first block can be called complete.


I had started the Lollypop Trees in June, using the blocks from EQ, downsizing them to 14". I used background fab that I had on hand, so can only make 12 blocks.
I love the Kaffe fabs and am learning how to work with them, but have a ways to go. I am enjoying seeing the blocks that have been posted so far and see that we have a lot of the same fabs to work from.
Back to sewing circles.
