I'm going to add my "OOOHHH" to the group. I'm excited to see what you are going to do.

Okay, the kick-start is sending me to the fabric store for a first border. I checked out all the fabric I have and nothing is "blowing-my-dress-up" any. I know exactly what I want (have about 1.5 inches of it) so something in that range will get me going again.

I have what I want for the second border, just have to check how much I have. With the way things have been going lately, it won't be enough...

Also getting a backing and a little batting and I'll be back in business.

Put borders on it the other day, and am quilting it now. Hopefully be able to post a pic in about a week. (Lots on my plate for the next few days)

The photos are in Alaska? They remind me of the stuff that grows by the rivers.. gorgeous colors and the fabric stash is a perfect match for the project!

Stopped at JoAnn's last night to pick up a spool of thread (ran out of bobbin thread to match the backing). I usually try to pick up thread when they are having a sale, but not knowing when that will be, I just grabbed a spool and without a discount coupon. HOLY COW!!! I had no idea thread had gotten so expensive! I'm going to have to take an inventory and get thread the next time they have a 50% off sale! I nearly dropped my teeth when she told me it was almost $5.00 for the medium sized spool!

I have so much stash that I become overwhelmed when I try to incorporate pieces into projects. I am done buying without a project in mind (like right now I watch for browns and pinks for a future quilt, and I take snippits of what I have with me so I won't buy outside my color zone and end up with more stash.) 2010 and 2011 is my years for UFOs, WIPs, and unused fabric!
