For those just joining me I am making the quilt pictured below for The Aunties as a wedding gift. The pattern is from http://purlbee.squarespace.com/wedding-quilt/.

I was originally going to collect the fat quarters of fabric over time, picking up a fabric as it caught my attention but this proved to be difficult. I would have to bring my fabric with me or a photo of the fabric so I could make sure the fabrics flowed together nicely. Instead of that crazy making idea, last Wednesday I made my way to Quiltessential http://www.quiltessentialco.com/ in St. Albert and chose 20 fat quarters for the coloured blocks of the quilt.
The ladies at the store were very helpful and patient with me as I browsed, took down, put back and finally chose fabric. The didn't even grumble when most of the quarters I wanted needed to be cut off the bolt. A lovely place to get lost in for a bit, I highly recommend them.
It took a few hours but here they are. The 20 blue and purple fabrics.
I'll try to be on time next Wednesday.
Well-chosen! The patterns work nicely together.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a gorgeous quilt. I've had it on my radar for awhile. Welcome to Curves Camp!
