The unquenchable thirst for fabric is part of the FUN ... ha ha. I do like the fabric you got on ebay. The last photo also really really appeals to me as well. This project sounds like you will really enjoy it. There is so much available on the web which is either free or at very little cost. We are very fortunate. Love your blocks -- will enjoy seeing the rest. Hugs, Donna
Nancy, I love the fabrics you got on ebay and I think the ones in the following picture go great with them.....I can't wait to see what your do with this beautiful material....
I can identify with the unquenchable thirst for fabric..plus yarn, plus roving, plus art supplies, plus plus plus you name it.....I wish I didn't like to do so many things...oh well...what will I do now?
Hi Nancy! Thanks so much for you feedback! Being a quilter you know how best to assemble blocks of color. Every time I try to do an abstract it always comes out in blocks. It seems like I am afraid of organic shapes in an abstract. Must be some sort of issue there in my abstract mind. I am sure it's my left brain trying to be more logical or something. Who knows???
