I figured it would be a good way to keep working on quilting techniques without making a million quilts. I get to use other peoples' fabrics and learn new blocks, but I don't have to make a whole quilt out of every one.
I got my first shipment of fabric yesterday and I am very happy to get started. I promised Holly Dolly some pictures so here they are:
It's the same 9 fabrics in different arrangements. I laid them out in little stacks because that's how they will be in the quilt blocks. I was just playing around with what I think works well together.
This should be fun!

Oooh!!!! I love love LOVE the nicey jane print she sent you! Have you seen it in the darker navy blue background? Just heaven. If only I were a little (a lot) more motivated and less tired then I would totally (maybe) put a little baby quilt together.
Something using these fabrics would be quilty nirvana:

Cute fabric and great idea! Almost as cool as my sisters' and my traveling quilt. :) Wanna do a quilting bee with me (and some others, of course) sometime? I'd totally be up for it!
I love the fabric! That sounds like a lot of fun.
What a FUN idea!!
I really like the 3rd arrangement. This sounds fun! I'm glad you're going to keep quilting--because I'm going to pay you to make me a quilt one of these days so I can keep warm. I loved that quilt you posted a while back.
