Okay, I've finally picked my fabrics -- I think. I have to "live" with them a while in order to decide whether or not I really like them. Right now, I'm not too sure I do. I was hoping for more color (blue). May have to go digging in the stash again. Any thoughts on these? I find all the neutrals a bit boring. But everybody else seems to have picked out great colors!

I finally picked my fabrics. I want to make a baby quilt with making 2 of everything & some borders. Judy, will that work? And the colors are a bit brighter than shows; I'm using the light pink for F-I & the pink shows well with the E. The brown will be J-M. I decided to use some stash for this one. I tend to go to scraps for everything first, but need to use some of the EXTENSIVE stash I have, too!
Hopefully, this is all good & can stop changing colors everytime I turn around!!!

I swear I spent an hour rummaging through my stash last night... finally had to turn the light off and go to bed. I will take a peek in the guest room later this morning to see what I did but pulling 13 fabrics together is not as easy as one might think... especially my husband who thinks I'm a quilting nut. 
Everyone's choices are looking great. I love both Jan and Jeanne who are using some blacks and greys in addition to their color choices and I like VickiM's idea of making a baby quilt ... that's where I might be headed.

This is a stack of fat quarters that I hadn't decided what to do with. They look better together when they're all mixed up. Maybe they will be when we're finished. The border print will pull them all together. I think I have the needed contrast.

You have not heard of living in the willy wacks, or out in the sticks? Perhaps that is Maine country talk, kind of like they say I have an accent, but I know I don't. I just live so far into the country I have to travel 20 miles to go to town. But its pretty. And I do feel better I am not the only only one that has that kind of "shed".
