I did SO good at the 10000 bolt quilt shop (The Painted Pony n Quilts...a Moda certified shop in La Porte, TX) but that blue floral toward the bottom nagged at me. I LOVED it. I am not a BLUE person, but I loved this one. I am not one to stash something that wasn't a basic or a kid's fabric (for my boys) without a plan, so I went home and started looking up the rest of the fabrics in the line, Building Blocks by American Jane for Moda. Of course.
I ended up and found all the other prints I wanted online and called Painted Pony for the rest. I bought some coordinating prints from American Jane Basic Building Blocks and I threw in a coordinating check from Wee Play and a floral from Recess. I am totally in love with this stack!!! There is 1 more print I think would go well with my stack, but it is in a quilt shop in the middle of Mississippi and I'll have to wait until we go visit my in-laws to buy that. I really did not need to spend this much money coming off a speeding ticket (which I still say you are not speeding if the officer pulls you over with a FINGER WAVE!) but my husband says he is happy that I did splurge on something that makes me happy. I guess this means I have to be excited the next time he spends money on an electronics thingie I don't know how to work, huh?
I am going to dream and drool over this little bundle for a while before I make my final decision. I am thinking simple...like a Plus quilt...maybe even just squares. Any suggestions????
Good Morning Mary. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh I can see why you love your fabrics!! :o) I can hardly wait to see what you decide to create with them. :o) That is funny how your husband prefers electronic "thingies', mine does too. :o)
We have quilt shops in Mississippi?? Gosh, I wish they would come further down this way. :o)
I hope you are having a great start to a brand new day.
Sincerely - Tricia
