I'm doing my own design. I got 17 yards of fabric so I should have enough to do another small quilt.

wow beautiful!!!!

Oh Pam - just caught up with this thread and been on a roller coaster of emotion!!!

BUT alls well that ends well! And that quilt is going to be fantastic - when I see your work, I think it can't get any better but everything you do just gets more and more fabulous! How do you do it? :D :D :D

PS If you're worried about future fabric orders, just have em delivered to me, I'll look after them really well for you, promise! :wink:

I remember people having a wood or metal box on their porch for packages. All the mailman had to do was close it and it was locked. My mailman leaves packages on my front porch just an overhang for protection. There is a closed porch on the side. You should see the ones they cram in the rural box. :roll: :roll: :wink: So glad you got your fabric, I love it :D

So glad it was delivered safely Pam. All I can say is WOW....that quilt is gonna be another beauty from you!!! I LOVE that fabric you chose for it!

Whats happening with your Dahlia? I saw it peeking out from under another one the other day, but...did I miss the finish?? :lol:

No wonder you were upset the fabric is beautiful. Thank goodness for your neighbor. I used to have stuff delivered to me at work, when I was still working. Sometimes they still take out there, so hubby brings it home. Being in a fairly small town all the UPS drivers know who we are because we were in business for so long they know if no one is at the shop to try the house.
I'm so glad you got your order after all. :D :D

K... if I have them delivered to you will they get returned to me eventually? You could just sew them together (in some fabulous way) and return as one big piece for your convenience. :D

That would have to be one big box on the porch to fit a delivery like 4 queen sized batts. :wink:

I did work on the Dahlia last week. I got more of the small flowers sewn on and more of the vine done. Still wondering what I'm going to do for a border on it. I have to take it off the bed this week as my daugher, SIL, and 3 kids will be here on Friday.

About this design... do you think the teddy bear is too "cutesy"? I saw some really nice house blocks, like mansions, that I liked but then I would probably have to revise the small houses. Or make them look more definitively like schools, or maybe churches.

Is that by Mary Koval at Blanc Designs?

It's by Windham fabrics... taken from individual pattern motifs of hand-woven coverlets in the collection of The National Museum of the American Coverlet. The pattern motifs chosen for THE COVERLET COLLECTION II were taken from coverlets (bedcovers) woven in approximately 1830 to 1850.

I got it at Whittle's fabrics online for $3.50 per yard. This entire order was $52.50 plus shipping. I realized that I didn't get 2 yards of one of the fabrics I ordered because they were out of it. When I notified Whittle's that the delivery was found they emailed back "Whew!" and that they had started pulling the fabrics to try and re-create my order but some of them they didn't have enough of.

I'm so glad you got this resolved and the fabric is breathtaking.. usually I go for very bright colors, but I'm thinking I have to reconsider....at least on occasion.. and...............thanks to you.....now I have a book I have to find....
