Before starting this quilt along, I really had a hard time deciding which fabrics to use. Now I'm getting some questions about the fabrics that I have chosen. I was lucky enough to go to the European Patchwork and Quilting expo when my kids were 4 and 5 years old (they are now 16 and 17) Feel free to do that math, I prefer to pretend I am NOT that old yet. Anyway...I purchased this fabric bundle from a booth at the expo that was from the quilt shop in Paris called LeRouvray. Sadly, I think they are no longer, but I did get to visit them on a quick trip to Paris a few years later. These fabrics are from a line they created and they are gorgeous to look at and to work with. I have been saving them for over a decade, and now I'm using them. Life is short...use your best fabric NOW!
I have added a few other fabrics that play well, only because I don't think I will have enough from this fat quarter bundle. And they are probably not easy to get a hold of now that they are over a decade old. LOL
Enjoy every stitch!
