having a stash of fabric at the ready is a real benefit when luscious magazines like this arrive. i don't buy many magazines, but this one came recommended. there are some really beautiful quilts inside and don't you know, i found 2 i want to make! years ago i collected a few vintage indigo fabrics and have added to them from time to time. i also purchased 10 yards of kona white to have "on hand" when needed. my fabric karma was working overtime because when the magazine came, i saw a traditional type scrappy and thought, where are those indigo fabrics? and do i want white or muslin and remembered the kona white....voila! another project! no rush on this one of course, i'm busy trying to finish a bed-size right now, but soon i'll be busting more of my stash.....how great is that?

Haven't seen that magazine--I am intrigued. Love those indigos. They will make a beautiful quilt with the white.
ReplyDeleteI love indigo.....ohhh heck there aren't many colors I don't like/love! Looking forward to seeing what quilts you will make. I've been busy working on my penny rugs.....gotta post on the blog soon, been lazy about that lately. Enjoy this beautiful day.
