The Fabric Made Me Do It

Those quilting cottons get me every time and my friend just got in Frolic by Sandy Gervais, it is the perfect spring colors.  Especially after a long winter.  I taught a purse class there last week and one woman made her bag from this fabric line, gorgeous.  Then I was at Moda Bake Shop and saw this this quilt and I was a goner.

I worked like a crazed woman all week and last night I finished it.


I decided to only put "bloom" on the bottom.  That one word reminds me of one of my daughters, she is just blooming this year, coming into her own.


Now it is off to the quilters and I can't wait to see it after that.



On a side note: Anyone want to guess the number of pieces of fashion fabric in my stash?  I have been working my way through it and not buying much the last couple of months.  I am probably going to cut into one of the pieces tonight.

  1. I would guess 6. I know you don't like to have a big stash, you once mentioned 10 pieces as a stash and you have been quite productive the last couple of months.

  4. Hey, crazed woman! Your quilt is fantastic! Was it a difficult pattern to piece? It's beautiful.

  5. I am drooling over your beautiful quilt. I went to the thrift shop and found a quilting book and yesterday purchased fabric to make a simple quilt. Diving into another craft ;)

  7. I am going to go with 25 pieces. But on second thoughts it could be none! Great quilt, that would have kept you busy.

  8. Hi Danain! Thanks for stopping by my blog! That is wonderful that you are doing split rings! Good for you! I start out with two shuttles at the beginning of the project. It's just easier that way. That way you can just pick up the second shuttle and GO! Good luck with your surgery!

  9. It's amazing. What beautiful colors. I can't believe you did it so fast. I wish I had so little fabric I could be excited about it. I'm afraid I'm a stashoholic.
