When I went to Corpus on Monday, I went by JoAnn fabrics to see if they had any fabric that would coordinate with the fat quarter bundle I'm using for the Solar Flare quilt. I found a bundle of red-orange-yellow colors and a single fat quarter of dark blue.
They both have the mottled look that will work with the original pack. I ended up pulling out the orange and the blue as they seem to coordinate the best.
I did end up putting two rows together yesterday with the hst's I already had sewn. That's about all I got done as I went home early. I wanted to spend some times with the dogs before I left for bingo last night.
I also found this magazine at JoAnn's:
This was my main reason for going there, and I was happy to find it. The cover quilt is the next APQ quilt along. I also bought 20 fat quarters that I need for the quilt. I looked through the magazine last night, and I also like this one:The quilt along starts in June, so there's not much time to get the last one finished. Nothing like a deadline......
Love the colors on your Solar Flare. I like that cover quilt, I'll have to check that out. I hope to get busy on my other APQ quilt (that is your fault for me starting - lol!)
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Linda! It won't take long to make the blocks once you get going on it. I still need to lay mine out.
DeleteThat will be a very pretty quilt. Enjoy the QAL.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. It starts in June, so it will be kicking off soon.
