I know me. If I let myself rather than starting my Dear Jane, I could literally take the next 20 months looking for the fabric. So I have decided that I am going to go over to my favorite quilt shop (in this area) Bella's and find fabric IN THAT SHOP to do this quilt. Period end of sentence. I have been looking on line for some sites to link up with and have come across quite a few. Most are traditional, but there are some out there that really pop and speak to me more. I LOVE color.
Back from Bella's and have found some fabric -
Here is what I have chosen to do my Dear Jane in
Took the pictures outside so you could see the natural light - Still on the fence about the background.... We shall see -
Going to do the 1st Block paper pieced - As soon as I test the pattern I will link you up! If not there is always my trusty seam ripper!!!
I like your choices, same colors- softer shades. In looking at some of the other completed DJ's on the web, there is such a variety of tastes. Real brights, pastels, 2 tones. You've inspired me to go to my favorite quilting store, A Heart Like Yours" and do some shopping...nice way to spend a rainy afternoon.
