New fabrics!

So yesterday I headed to my LQS to pick out some new fun fabrics.  You see, yesterday a new little someone made her appearance into the world and I just could not wait to pick out some fabrics to add to the once I already had picked out for her special quilt.  I am so excited for the new little family and I can't wait to meet the little one!  But I can't post up the fabrics I bought for her because I want it to be a surprise to her mommy :)  Lets just say that I am super excited for what I have come up with for her!  And it was perfect timing because this being my birthday month I get 20% off my entire order so I made sure to make it worth my while.

But I can post up the picture of the two other fabrics that I bought for a quilt for my sister.  She will be moving back to NJ soon after 10 years of being out of the state so this is a birthday/ welcome home quilt.

The fabric on the left is by Timeless Treasures and the one on the right is Eclipse by Exclusively Quilters.

Adding them to the two I have already collected for her we have this so far...

The orange one is Bliss by P&B Textiles and the blue is Nouveau by Moda.  I am planning a beachy, airy feel for this quilt.  I think the Eclipse will be more towards the outside to keep the feeling light.   I have two patterns in mind, one is Target Practice  (by Themodernquiltguild) and the other is Curious Nature (by David Butler).  If I did target practice, I might scale it up some, make it larger.  It is still up in the air and I need to collect some more fabrics for this.

I will be heading sometime soon to Stitch and Sew which is about 30 minutes from me because they have a crazy amount of cottons (and everything else you can imagine!) to choose from!  I mean crazy!  I was looking for black and white at one point and walked into that section and there were over 100 bolts that I could see and that is not counting the ones that were buried under the others that I couldn't see!  I'll have to take some pictures on my next trip.

So that is what I will be working on and once the special little someone gets her quilt there will be pictures up of that one :)
