It sure is sad. She wants to talk about it but her husband doesn't, so she doesn't mind being in the store. It was busy in there yesterday, yet she talked to each of us customers as we told her how sorry we were.

I agree with dianna, Falling charms would really work better because there would be relief from the busy prints with a white background. I think you would have to add some tonals to use these fabric as a D9P because they are all busy prints. Sad that another LQS is closing.

Thanks for the input, my quilting friends. I have added (from my stash) more plain - green, white and aqua.
Now to get cutting!

Still haven't decided on whether to do a D9P (thanks for the advice on adding more green and some tonals) or a falling charm quilt but I need 5" squares regardless!

Most of it is Sugar & Spice by Riley Blake.

so sad for the shop owner.....your fabrics are lovely and the quilt you create from them will be a wonderful reminder of the time you spent in your favorite LQS
