A Quilt-Along~



Judy is doing a quilt along that is just the kick in the seat I need! :-) DS has been 'reminding' me that he needs a new quilt. The last one I made him has forest animals on it~ and he has way outgrown that! (according to him) :-) So when I showed him Judy's Bears in the Farmhouse, he said no~ too 'yellow'. LOL His favorite color has always been green, he was swayed by blue for a few years, but eventually green is still #1 for him. I shopped my stash and then found the stripe and light green fabrics while out this weekend. He likes it. He thinks the oranges have 'too many flowers' in them, but I assured him they'd be cut up. LOL He is a funny kid! After I took the photo of my fabrics, I found a light tan for background in my stash too, so now I am all set. :-) Today I'll get the fabrics all washed and ready. :-)
This is his other quilt. It was a Debbie Caffrey mystery a few years ago in Traditional Quiltworks magazine. The animals are in the border and on the back. I still like this quilt. :-) Do you see the theme in his color preferences? :-)
Ok, I'm off to sew~
Happy Stichin' to you too!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
