new quilt

well, i'm still trying to get a collection of fabrics that i love and here is the first quilt that i will make out of fabrics that were not bought together (well, sort of).

some of the fabrics i got together: flannel floral backing, red dots, colorful trees, green/blue stripe, orange and white, and multi-color swirly.

and some i got at a quilt show: blue floral, multi-color floral.

i got some for baby bibs i made: brown stripe, brown polka dot, blue polka dot, green/multi stripe and green/blue polka dot.

and some i got at unique fabric stores.

i am going to embellish it with ribbons and ric-rac (the orange polka dot ribbon is from my sister's wedding cake, the green striped ribbon is from my '08 derby hat and the red ric-rac is from my sewing room curtains).

i'm very excited about this quilt and i'm going to try a new pattern, one that my mom made. funny enough, we both picked some of the same fabrics. it will be a tossed 9 patch. i'm going to make 12 types of squares (2 from each combo) and cut them opposite with the blue center square. so, again it will look similar to my moms quilt. but i'm not about to attempt swirly quilting so it will look different finished. plus i have a combo of flannel and cotton and a flannel back.

i haven't started cutting yet, right now i'm going to just enjoy the fabrics layed out on the guest bed.
