I have a bolt of white fabric that wasn't the quality I thought it was going to be when I ordered it. That's the risk you take when buying large amounts, the actual bolt may not be exactly the same as the sample you were shown, especially with staples like homespun.  I wanted to make sure that the colours wouldn't shadow through when pieced and it seemed to be fine.. The final test was the quilting, but the fabric behaved nicely so I will be happy using it for my projects now. I'm still on the lookout for the perfect white, but I'll buy it in person next time.

I'm also trying out some of Keryns   pantograph patterns to see if I can choose some to replace the Baptist fans that I want to put on everything. It seems silly not to take advantage of all the lovely designs I have at my fingertips. I think this one is Sand Spirals and it quilted up very quickly.

These are seven inch blocks and were fun to do. I have a kit of them cut out in blue and white  as a more traditional quilt, but they're on the back burner for now. So many new things to distract me, I'm having trouble stating on track these days.
