If you are looking for a really large very vibrant floral, check for Benartex Flower Show line They have ten to fifteen different flowers or color waves of the same flower. I picked up some when I bought a kit to make a quilt for grandnephews wedding December of O8 but then realized that the kit would not make a quilt the size I wanted. I found the line at a quilt shop in San Antonio but had also looked it up on e Quilter.com
Also on e Quilter I found a line of ombre fabrics that are shaded light to dark selvedge to selvedge and the most lucsious colors. I wish I could buy at least two yards of every color but limited myself to two shades of yellow to gold and one of orange. I found it originally in Illinois a t a little shop near Elgin but only bought the green They are really wonderful for grass or fields because you can have shading as part of the lalndscape. and the green goes with the Flower Show line .

I feel your pain about not buying any more fabric, I told dh I wouldn't start any new projects so he said does that mean no fabric will come home from Houston in ten days and after we both picked up ourselves up from the floor from laughing. He said don't bring home too much. Well quilters out there who will say how much is too much? certainly not me!!!!! Ann who cant wait for Houston WhooHoo!

This is another:

I am going to try to post pictures here, Anna.

This is my flannel border print 4PSP:

I am now looking like crazy for LARGE FLORAL / MOtif fabrics I would never have looked at before. I want to make more and I haven't finished the one I started yet.... I am also looking at setting differently... I have avoided anything but a straight patch but this has got my head buzzing. I see so many possiblilties that would be absolutely wonderful. Have you made this type of quilt... do you have pictues I would love to see them. I have posted pictures on the web shots of some of the blocks I have made. I am going tomorrow to pick up more fabric to make the settings more lusious. I have enough fabric to make another set of blocks to make this quilt queen size.

Sad thing is I can not get any more fabric until I finish my current projects ( 10 of them) I promised myself and my hubby. He would close his eyes but I have no where else to store any more projects and I want to make a guest room for the baby ( my daughters baby) I am expecting in the spring my first grand child .... so fabric storage has to move .... best way I know is to finish projects.



What was the name of the publication / book with the pattern. Elaine has been teaching this block for 4 years now. The ladies who have been in the Gathering Group made this block 4 years ago, but this is the first time for me. I would like to see what other blocks / techniques are available.

Anna, is doing the 4patch stacked posy blocks the most fun you've had in a dog's age???!!!! Very addictive, aren't they? LOL

There is a bunch of gals, here on the east coast, who have been addicted to them for over a year (well, since HD Designs came out with it) and still going strong. It makes you looks at fabric in a totally different way, doesn't it?!

Enjoy!

Just had our pizza project / sew in..... I had a blast What is better than sewing with friends on a fun fabric. we worked 4 hours at the shop then I went home and sewed more hours to get my 40 blocks sewn up.... I love that every block is different and this 4 patch is so much eaiser than the wedged shape STACK AND SLASH or KALIDISCOPE quilt blocks. I love the setting the instructor used .... it will make a beautiful quilt when it is finished.

I posted the class project pictures. I will post some of my blocks later this week when I get done with sewing them.
