~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Saturday, I bought my fabric. I knew I didn't have enough browns in my stash to make this quilt, and, I didn't want to make it scrappy. I really liked the fabrics that the designer used in her first quilt (Shimmer by Northcott) and, I knew just where I could get them. Sewing, Etc., in Yorkville, IL sells this line.
I haven't started cutting yet. I'm really busy the next 2 weeks, so, we'll see how much I get done.

I like your fabric choices.... I'm keen to do this too but am having a hard time deciding what colours/fabrics to use!
ReplyDeleteLove those fabrics! I can't wait to see this in progress. Wish I had time to stitch along, but too many other things waiting for my attention.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics. I picked up some fabric today as well and like yours it's brown but more solid. I think I'll write up my post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun quilt! I'm trying to finish up a few things before starting something new.
ReplyDeleteI've got my fabrics but haven't started cutting yet.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics ( looks a lot like Calico Joan's) So happy to see friends making this quilt, too - we can nudge each other.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun way to connect up with other quilters but I have never been any good at following directions.
ReplyDeleteBuying the fabric is the easiest part for me... finding time (away from the computer) is the harder part. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteHugs
These are certainly going to make for a beautiful bear quilt, Cheryl. So very glad to have you quilting along!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices. I nabbed up the pattern, but won't have time to do any sewing for a while, until I can get into my new sewing room. I will have to start working from the door into the room.
