    Book? What book? Tell me quick so I can look for it tomorrow. Know now which fabric I want to use, but have to find it. Maybe under my bed, maybe in my closet, maybe in the sewing room, er, studio, errr scrap bin!

    Hugs

    Oooh, I found it in brown, instead of black for $8.95 a yard. If anyone wants, here it is!

    the grapes are great for obw's, but can you use the center one, the bubbles, in the border or somewhere? the colors are perfect.

    There is enough of the all purple one to do a whole one, I just need the time, I guess I could try to do more than one while working on it, but I would like to keep up with the BOM and my Jane as well. I think I would like something a little more plain for the boarder, but we will see when I have the center done on what I decide at the time,

    Bailey I love your b&w animals - I think that will be stunning. I saw an OBW somewhere once (can't remember where!) using a fabric like this and it was beautiful. :-D

    Esq - thanks for the link, but I prefer your colourway - will keep my eyes pealed for it! ;)

    The author of the OBW book has a safari quilt in the first book, I think I am remembering it as B/W. Either way, Esq's fabric choice is awesome! I can't wait to see it put together

    Hi,

    I found enough of another fabric in a hiding place in the closet so now I have to decide between the black and white and this.
