I ran into town this morning to see if I could find background fabric for my Stars & Sprigs quilt and actually found the perfect one at the first shop I went too!! You can click on the picture to see it better but the color is pretty true...maybe a little creamier but not much. You will notice that a few bright fats ended up coming home with me too :0)
I also picked up some batting for the Wonky House quilt as none of my scrap batting pieces were big enough and I didn't feel like sewing batting together. Now I need to figure out the backing and get it sandwiched tonight.
I've been thinking about how I will hand quilt this piece. I think the house blocks need some trees and fences and flowers. We'll see what I end up doing....
Crispy - who is really impressed that I posted two days in a row....but don't get used to it LOL.

Just catching up on your blog posts. Love of the family photos. It is so cute that Saigey went straight away to get her baby doll and wrap her up in the new quilt.
Very nice gifts from Betsy.
Can't wait to see your blocks at your start on your Stars and Sprigs. I love that pattern but will never make it.
