all the pretty flowers









i raced home yesterday to see if my parcel full of vintage sheet goodness had arrived and i was more than rewarded for my efforts! look at all the prettiness!! i think i want to make a quilt with lots of little squares rather than only a few big ones. i'll be scouring the net over the next few days for inspiration...

a big shout out to the lovely ange for organising, collecting and sorting over 800 fat quarters... THANKS SO MUCH!

    Oh wow I love them, the yellow and orange ones are my favourite. Cant wait to see what you create!
    Very excited about the stationery swap, I was going to email you but couldnt find your email. Is there anything you would like in particular or happy with a surprise? :-)

    So pretty ... I loved the swap and got so many amazing FQs. I keep looking out in everybody's stash to see what I sent and I think the bright green/orange floral is one of mine. I love that pattern so much.

    I'm glad you're happy with the bunch you received! I'll have to hunt out the last few retro sheet quilts I've seen about the place lately - one kalidescope and the other small square with some solids!
