Finally....after trying every combination of fabrics I owned to border my Kaffe Fassett fabrics....the LQS, The Quilt Foundry, had just what I needed. I want your honest opinion, please :)
The batik has both plum and red in it and I think it was just the thing to enhance the blocks without feeling like my eyes were slamming into a brick wall.
This picture may show the tones the best. Wish one of you would come here and set up a professional photo booth and pay for it too...then all my pix would be soooo purty....a girl can wish can't she? LOL
Waldo helped me choose the fabric and afterwards we headed out for lunch. It was snowing lightly and Waldo said, "my those snowflakes are beautiful...just look at them." I saw the collectively as they drifted from the sky but then I looked down at the arm of my coat and was shocked by what I saw.
Yep...perfect little flower snowflake on my sleeve. I could not believe it.
Here it is again....I took several photos trying to capture their beauty. A moment to take my breath away....and sharing it with my friend made it extra special.
Sometimes that is life....
and sometimes....this is how we play the game of life! Mr. Got Bucks won and had over 2 million dollars.
Other times....we have warriors running wild with Nerf Guns....
complete with a snow sled as a shield and a gangster hat....he was only wearing shorts and had his re-loader tucked into his pants....what a wild life I lead.

Looks like the perfect fabric to me. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI like that batik with those fabrics. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good match! I love looking at individual snowflakes. They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, it is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like the guys have a great time together. Makes me want to play too.
I think you have a special Angel in heaven dropping beautiful snowflakes on you. Very special in deed. So happy to see you finding time to enjoy and create. And smiles are always good.

Yay! That quilt's gonna be gorgeous! How special that little snowflake is/was. I believe it was a gift to amaze & lift you. Have a great week with those wonderful guys
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of fabric! You go girl and finish this project! I have pulled out all my sewing and have been super busy trying to finish up some that are partially done. I'm happy to say, this week, I finished three and have nearly completed the piecing of the final blocks in a twin size scrap quilt for my granddaughter. Now you don't want to ask how many projects need quilted. They are all pieced, need battling and quilted. Yeeks...probably 8 more years to finish them all, if I'm lucky. They make take longer.
