1st quilt of the year

So I finally finished my first quilt of the year, just in time for the baby to be born! I can not wait until he sees it/ Stacey sees it :D I will put it in the mail this week.






I chose something super fuzzy for the back, I love doing that for the baby quilts, seems cozy :D

The stitch I used for the binding, I thought it complimented the quilt well.

More Fabric than I've ever seen

So today I got to go to a 2 time a year event at a fabric warehouse.
This is the pay by the pound fabric- items with issues

this is about 1/4 of the fabric for sale but it goes the whole length of the  warehouse... I couldnt get a good picture without running into someone.
I ended up buying more than planned. oops!
this picture is of the bolts worth of fabric I bought. I bought some for a quilt I'm going to make my mother in law, and some curtains, and shower curtains, I'm excited.
I also bought some by the pound

it was so weird to see fabric there that they sell at Joanns and I thought, and I usually pay way more for this! lol... so I got some good deals!
