Hearts and Flowers

Hi All,  Just joined the group and this will be my first post.  I will have to blame my friend Judy (AKA Judith of Lollypop) for my addiction to Kim McLean.  After seeing her quilts and all the beautiful quilts on the Glorious Applique Blog I just had to join in.
My first attempt has been to do the Hearts and Flowers quilt from Kaffe Fassett's Quilt Romance book.
I ordered the fabric kit from Glorious Color and have made several trips to Intown one of my local quilt shops to pick up more.  Did I mention this was an addiction?

    Your center is gorgeous! You have a good eye for choosing just the right pieces of fabric.
    I said I wasn't going to do this quilt....but somehow I ended up ordering that book. ;)

    Is that Intown Quilters in Decatur GA? That's my local shop also and it's fabulous. As is your appliqué.

    Love your quilt! Your fabric selections are wonderful. Lucky you to have Intown Quilters to shop in! Even though I live many miles away, I visit my daughter in Atlanta and that is my favorite quilt shop anywhere. I have flown away from there having to pay extra baggage fees for all the fabric in my suitcase! (They once asked me if I wanted to take something out of my heavy bag to avoid the charge. What was I going to do?? Wear all that fabric??)

    Thanks for all the nice comments about my quilt. Picking the fabric and doing the fussy cutting was the hardest part for me so I am glad everyone thinks I did alright.

    Sally, I've shipped dirty clothes home many times. I have to have all that beautiful fabric with me when I get there. I could care less when, or if, my clothes get home. Tells you where my priorities are, eh?
