I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty

I just picked up these great fabrics from Cool Cottons on Hawthorne. I meant to go right after Christmas to check out their sale, but I was attacked by a bug and was out of commission for several days. Having almost fully recovered, I headed to the fabric store. I meant to buy a lot of bright fabric, but ended up a little tamer than expected. Maybe it’s because I’m not feeling particularly bright. These fabrics are going to make up a quilt for me. It’ll be my second quilt and I’d like to try to quilt it this time instead of using ties. I’m planning on using a red fabric with large white polka dots for the back. Something cheery and fun for the dreariness of the next few months. I found some great Japanese fabrics on ReproDepot’s website. Fortunately for me, I got a gift certificate for their website as a Christmas present. It’s the actual decision making that’s hard; there are so many great fabrics to choose from! Okay enough about fabric for now.
