Fabric Shopping...

 Yesterday I did something that I have not done in a long time....I went fabric shopping!  LOL!  I have pretty much been working out of my stash since 2009 but with my sister having a baby girl in a few months I needed to pick up a few things.  I don't have any of this in my stash.  

I picked up some pink minky to match this quilt.  Now it just needs to be quilted and the binding done.  I have leftover fabric from the top for the binding. 
 I'm sure that you can tell that my sister loves pink!  I picked this up for the border of my Colorful Scraps quilt that I am in the process of piecing.  A hot pink mini dot.
 This larger hot pink dot will be a small chevron quilt.  I already had the white so I didn't buy it.  When I got home I realized that they had cut me more than I asked for, 1.5 yards extra to be exact.  I checked my receipt and called back to Hobby Lobby and they thanked me for calling and told me to just keep it after I offered to pay for it over the phone. 
 I mentioned in a previous post that my sister also wanted a puff/biscuit quilt.  These are the fabrics that I picked out for that.  She is doing the nursery in owls so I thought this would be nice. 
 I started cutting out some squares from the fabric and put them up on the wall.  It's all very busy to me but she likes this stuff. 
 I could not sleep last night so I got back up and cut the rest of the blocks.  I still need to cut the backing squares which I will probably do today so that I can get started. 
 I have also been working on these.  These are my break from all of the bright funky fabrics.  LOL!  If you have read my blog for a while you will know that I don't tend to work with modern/bright fabrics.  :) 
 I guess that is all for now.  It is another cold day here in KY.  Hunter only had 2 days of school this week and that was his first week back after Christmas Break.
