It was a cold and rainy evening. Football practice was cancelled, but I was on gymnastics duty and it doesn't stop for rain. It was almost bedtime before everyone was home and showered. I could have easily called it a night myself after settling the kids in, but stopped to check on blog posts. There was Bonnie, live with another quiltcam post. I couldn't just sit and watch of course, so off I went to iron some of the new fabric that just came in from Connecting threads for Hawaii Sunset. I think I could still use a few more pinks, there are 24 geese in each block I think, 5 pinks won't go far. There is plenty of green in my stash, not sure about the blue status. I'll have to check. One color I completely neglected in my shopping was "chrome yellow" I am thinking a nice mustard or two would blend in just right. Hmmm..... I'll give it some thought while I start cutting into my new fabric.
Great choices! I've been playing with my first block today and almost have it together - yay!!! I'm low on the bubble-gum pinks too, and the chrome yellow I just simply do not have at all. I've never collected reproduction fabrics and only have a few in my stash because of my Dear Jane. I'm using a bright goldy yellow instead. It's kind of in between a medium yellow and cheddar (which I also don't have). I'm also putting in a few browns I think.
ReplyDeleteThese are totally yummy choices!
ReplyDeleteIs there a quilt a long going on with this quilt, I have started to see quite a few people in blogland making this quilt all of a sudden.??? Gotta love getting packages in the mail.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You did better than I did; I saw Bonnie on for a brief while, but I was neck-deep in some online training videos for a new RTI Math program we....(scratch that).... **I** am piloting this year. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fabs!!! Can't wait 'til my order comes in from Hancock. Hawaiian Sunset fabs coming in with that order too :)
I was watching Bonnie too and working on my hexes. Heard her give you a shoutout. :o)
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I'm not going to start any new projects but I'm very tempted by the Row Along over at Bee in my Bonnet!
Beautiful palette. Maybe I should play along with this one. I have a lot of pink in my stash. Hmmm.
ReplyDeletelooking good! I will be sewing geese all day tomorrow by the looks of it! SMILE@
