    I have a few pieces left of some old Robert Hoffman woodblock prints from years ago. I'll probably use these if I can find a pattern that I like that will highlight them. I don't like the newer patterns, like disappearing nine patch, etc., so I may use them as accents. Every time I look at them, I think they're so beautiful I want to frame them.!

    Me too. :lol:
    Me three! LOLOL .. we should share pictures of our favorite fabrics ... maybe we could help each other accumulate more. My absolute-to-die-for favorite is a 1994 Hoffman Challenge called Tiffany Windows here:

    http://www.hoffmanchallenge.com/past...994fabric.html

    I only have a yard of that GORGEOUS stuff. It is lovingly placed away from the light and dust/dirt. I visit it on occasion, just to pet it and reassure it that it is still my #1.

    Second place is the 2004 Hoffman Challenge called Multi-Gold (?) here:

    http://www.hoffmanchallenge.com/challenge2004.html

    It shares the same clean dark spot with #1, so at least they can talk to each other. :-)

    I'm so new at quilting! I only buy fabric when I have a quilt pattern in mind. Am sure that will change one day but right now it works for me. Besides, we live full time in an RV and there's only so much room. Maybe that's really a GOOD thing.

    Oh yes I have every Pancy fabric made I think , and
    I cant cut a single piece , maybe one day the perfect
    pattern will come along , until then I stroke,refold , admire, and gently put it away . My quilting friends reckon they are going to line my "coffin " with it one day . At least I will still have it with me ......

    I have a jelly roll that I fell in love with the material. I'm scared to death to use it because I can't decide how to use it or if I should put some other fabric with it when making my quilt. I'm also a relatively a quilting newbie and what if I really mess it up.

    My favorite flower is the pansy. I bought some beautiful pansy fabric. I started the quilt and decided that I would love to make a king size quilt for my bed. I went back to get the material and they didn't have any more and I haven't been able to find it any where else. I'm so upset.

    This is what I've decided to do too.

    I have trouble using material left over from a project. I think that I will make curtains or pillow cases. But I never do. What's up with that? I guess it is just as bad as saving a piece of favorite material.
