Such beautiful pieces of fabric. Wouldn't they be so wonderful filled with lavender? Great find!
Ooh what pretty quilting squares. I bet you are going to make something beautiful with them. Make your Mom proud!

Oh that is beautiful fabric. I can imagine what a beautiful quilt it will make.
That is so cool. I am your newest follower. I scrolled through some of your other posts and had to LOL at the Target grain sack towel story. I did the same thing! They are okay in my decor, but it was as though I was possessed-MUST HAVE THEM! I bought FOUR! I thought about giving 2 away as a giveaway, but then just washed them up and decided to use them anyway. The power of suggestion, right?
Have a great day,
Judy
I love Rachel Ashwell fabrics, I see you have a few of them and can't wait to see your finished project. Thanks so much for visiting me and in answer to your question about my shiny floors is that this flooring wasn't finished till all that long ago and the room itself isn't in constant traffic like the rest of my home! take care, Maryann
thank you for leaving me a comment about my blog feature in romantic homes! you are so sweet!
hugs,
shelley
back again as I just remembered the thing I add to the water when washing my floors (and windows) is a splash of vinegar! Maryann
Loving those soft sweet colors.
I can't quilt for NOTHIN'. Just not my gift....
My mom...she's fab at it.

Diane,
What a beautiful find! You are probably too young to stay still and quilt although I made a quilt in my thirties. You have time.
♥charlotte
Love your photos of the quilt squares! I thought of you when I packaged those together to bring to the store! Someday I want to see your beautiful house...you are so talented and creative with your romantic decor! Thanks for sharing!
What lovely fabric swatches. I love quilting and hope to start up again this fall when I get a new sewing machine. I'm a new follower on GFC and Linky; hope you'll follow back!
Oh my! I too am a lover of all shades of white. Sure, wish my mom had passed on her sewing gift to me. I am now following your fabulous blog. Hope you'll pay me a visit and follow me.
