Variety Is The Spice Of Life...Even With Fabric

This is my VERY FIRST little star I ever made. My cute little stars that I love making sooo much call to me often. I chose this one to play with the other day and determined not to cut
into any new fabrics and use what was already in strips ( look Sharon..indigo blue )... and well.....this is all the blue I could find in these darker tones.....but I'm not giving up....I'm still digging through the ole stash of scraps.....and look GAIL....do some of these fabrics look familiar?? I used to be a fanatic about blue.....blue in my house everywhere....well, I got over that several years ago...but, my eyes are sure enjoying looking at this.

I also worked on this project....I have it sandwiched and all pinned up ready to machine quilt...YES....I AM GOING TO MACHINE QUILT IT.....waahhhh....you all know how I love to have everything HAND quilted. I think it needs to be quilted using variegated thread and I have NONE....so, it's been on hold until I get some....I'm anxious to finish it and get the binding on....the binding is going to be 'wild' too!! ( p.s. Gail sewed up part of this).

I finished all the blocks to my Confetti quilt and spent yesterday sewing the rows together.....ooouuuu I lik-ee too much!

See those blank spaces there on the edges.....w-e-l-l....I may have a problem with not having enough matching fabrics to complete.....DARN!! I hate that when that happens!!

And after showing you all those wild and bright colors I have used in the above projects....these sweet little fabrics are my favorites this week. Such a contrast aren't they? My fabric stash collection has such a wide VARIETY of colors and designs. I have loved fabric since I was a little girl......and I Love it ALL....no matter what style I like it!!! Gail, you asked me in an email if I thought my tastes had changed since I started quilting.....no, I don't think so. I feel I have enough variety to match any mood or project I might have.......I am very eclectic in my taste, and that's ok!
