New Fabric!

So I was out yesterday running errands. While I was out in the nearest city with a mall, I thought I would stop by the JoAnn's to see if they had any fabric that I just really needed. Well, turns out, they were having a huge sale on fat quarters!! YAY! .99 for 1 fat quarter. So needless to say I thought I should take advantage and get some that I liked.
I really liked the leave prints on this and the color is just so bright and cheerful. Then I started to think about the quilt-along I mentioned in my last post. So I picked up some fat quarters for that too! This is the whole lot:
The top print is so bright. The background color is lime green, one of our favorite colors. The bottom has pretty aqua swirl pattern.This top print is very unique. It has some yellows ans whites in it. I just liked it. The bottom is just some squares in squares. Pretty colors.This top print has a very unique swirl print with a dark and lighter green. The bottom one is my favorite of this bunch. I'm not sure why, I just loved the bright contrast and the style of the flowers.So what do you think? Will they all look ok together, or should I add another color to them?

We're Back!!

I am so proud of the picture I took of Lake Tahoe! It is beautiful and pictures will never do it justice. This was taken from a cornice at Alpine Meadows in Truckee, CA. It was so much fun. We skied for 2 days and boy are we sore now. Our calves and shins hurt. But it was a lot of fun. We had lots of good food and met new people and caught up with old friends. I just had to share a few pictures from our trip. I feel like all we have been posting about lately is Tahoe, but I guess that is because we have been excited about this trip. Well, it is over now and although it was fun, we will be posting about everyday life again.
Oh I have to share this. Oh, Fransson! is hosting a sew along and she has absolutely beautiful quilts. You must check it out. Well I am very late in joining but I got some fabric today for the quilt she is doing. I will present that tomorrow. Can't wait!
