Peaches and Dreams

Crazy 1I and Jen talked me in to doing a scrappy Peaches and Dreams quilt with them. It didn't take much convincing since the pattern is pretty simple. I just needed time to get to it! I have all these other UFO's I'm seriously trying to get done before Labor Day. This week I made a huge dent in my UFO pile, so now I don't feel so bad starting a new quilt. Last night I went through a stack of batik's and pulled blues, greens, reds, oranges, tans, and yellows to make the quilt. I think I've got enough contrast, I just need to figure out how to cut it out so I get the look I'm going for. I pressed and cut last night, but only got a few fabrics cut out. Here is my fabric selection. Not sure how much of each I'll use, but it will be interesting.

Tonight while I sew with the girls I'm working on a new bag... so we'll see if I get it done so I can show it tomorrow. Depends on how much laughing we do.

I really like your fabric selection. Mom and I have been eyeing a block of the month that is done in browns and tans.. but I have too much to do already.

I can't believe you're doing a scrappy quilt! I can't wait to see how it turns out - I'm sure it will be fabulous. Miss you - hoping in August to get back into the shop more, and maybe try to finish this quilt!

I think those fabrics are going to turn out great. I haven't worked on mine in a few days either. I'll get back to it though.
