fabric - it is an addiction......

I was picking up this fabric the other day - simply because it was on sale and I liked it.  Reason enough, right?  Well, my niece was working the cutting counter that day - and she mentioned how she liked that group of fabrics.  Hmm.  And she's getting married early next summer.  Double hmmm.    Me thinks I know a reason for this fabric now!  Tee hee :)

And, I am finally ready to cut the ''quilt kit'' I am making my mom for Christmas.  She has been admiring the quilt  'wrapped in red' from Piece N Quilt's pattern in American Patchwork and Quilting (we talked about the quilt several times when the magazine first came out) - but she mentioned to me that she didn't ''think she was up to cutting that much fabric anymore''.   So, I decided that my Christmas gift to her would be the pre-cut fabric for this quilt!

so, I gathered a bunch of red prints and a couple white prints, and hopefully this will get me all the pieces she needs to make the quilt.  I'll leave the border up to her though :)
