I really want to do this one, except I have to check my "Stash" and my WIP's. Not quite committed yet.

Well guys I was not going to do this one. Was going to try to finish up my UFOs this year but it was just calling me. I am also going to go off the deep end and try to use my stash. I have this mental block about picking out my own colors and usually always buy a kit for quilts. So this is my attempt to break that block. I am going with autumn/fall colors. In the center I am thinking of putting in pumpkins and fall leaves. When I go take a leap of faith I really go the whole route. It's kind of scary but exciting at the same time. We shall see.

Here are the coordinating fabrics I found in my stash. I may not use them all or may find additional fabrics to go with them. I'm hoping to find a matching stripe for the center setting triangles, a stripe for the slat border, and a design that will work for the appliqued swag border. That would save me a lot of time. If I do the center block as planned it will only require the appliqueing of 4 fussy cut hearts. If I don't have enough of the white on white for the background I will use some of the other off-white fabrics. That means I need to figure my yardage first before I get started. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your fabric and design choices.

I got 3 small pieces of fabric from the Bear Essentials line, and a small amount of the white on white. I wanted to feel the fabric, test it for running and shrinkage, in general, just experiment with it so I could know if I would be comfortable with it. Well...it is terrific. It looks beautiful and feels very soft. The white on white is a perfect choice for the white parts. Its' tiny vines and flowers look complimentary to the quilt design. I think the fabric is a great density for hand applique. So that did it for me. I am going with the Bear Essentials kit. I am very excited about the project. Dont know if I would take on a project with so many different (and new to me) processes, but since we will get such great advice and have each others hands to hold...I'm on board.

Glad to have you join us, Alice, and welcome to the forum! For what it's worth, the fabric in the Beloved Beauties kit also feels wonderful to work with!
