in addition to doing a number of quilty tasks today, i also went to marden's to pick up some fabric for a commission piece. as usual, i found some really lovely pinks and a background piece as well. about half are $2.99 fabrics, the rest were $3.99 (that's per yard). from these i am going to get 2 quilt tops; one is the comission and the other will be a baby/carriage size. and though i didn't specifically look for "name brand" quilt shop fabrics, as most but not all of marden's are, the end labels on these were RJR, robert kaufman, red rooster, free spirit and westminster. they've been washed and dried already. the yardage total is 4.25 yards for about $17, real honest-to-goodness bargains! i did see a background online i liked a lot better, but it was $9.25 a yard and would have been just over $23 for the 2.5 yards needed....a definite no. after choosing these i got out of there fast.....serious temptation!
