Started collecting my fabrics, some from my stash, purchased some, including the background. 4 more to pick up. I also can't wait to see others fabric selections. So many possibilities!

Also, after viewing today's intro by Barbara, I am even more excited to get started. Kudos to Barbara for the great instruction on all of the how-tos and getting around the website. I have valued everyone's posts with questions, etc. This is going to be fabulous!!!

Can anyone help Aurifil cotton comes in 50 and 80 wt, not 60 wt. Alex Anderson recommends Quilters Select, 60 and 80 wt and that is what I use most often. It is easily available right here in The Quilt Show Store.

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Ebmotha, I think your panels look very similar and would probably work fine. I like your idea about using ombre. I know there are lot of them out there. It would be easier to get the transition I have in mind, than with the circle shape as another variable. It is the light to darker that I am thinking I would like. HelenW

So.... I pulled out the fabric to see how I would cut the border fabric. And something didn’t look right so when I compared the fabric to Wendy William’s choice it was different. I still think I am going to try to make this work but then when I looked at your panels you were thinking about I thought about the Jennifer Sampou sky ombré and thought that might be an interesting choice. I have already bought the 1/2 yd bundles then bought the dawn star and the hearth quilt kits. So what’s a few more yards lol.

Hi everyone. I loved the art history print and was disappointed when the kit had run out. I didn’t wait to see if the quilt show could get more and found this fabric Online. And figured I could use up stash fabrics for the buildings. I just got my order and they cut the fabric into panels. Barbara, do you think this will work or so I need to piece them together to make it work. Thanks...

ebmotha, I too was thinking about using panels for my background fabric, but have not yet committed to buying them. I was thinking of using the Hoffman Super Nova panels
because I love the way they go from light bright in the center to dark on the outer edges.I am considering one of these two. Do you have a picture of your panels? I would be interested to see what you have in mind.

Thank you Barbara. My new question is do you think I should I cut strips for the borders before cutting into my fabric for the individual months. ( I am the one with 5 panels instead of one cut of background fabric. )

The instructions for cutting borders is to cut seven 5” strips, width of fabric, then piece them to fit the quilt. So look at the panels to see how those 5” wide strips will look as the outside border. If you do cut them in advance be sure to clearly label them so they don’t get lost or used for something else.

I am curious what you report about the panels as borders. I hope they will work for you.
