Sure enough, 2 of them came from Farmer's Market...notice the dates on some...I told you I had them for quite a while...
I have picked the backing for the table runner and have cut it and the batting..I will be pinning it either later on tonight or in the morning...then I "think" maybe I'll try some MQing using the Walking Foot, following the seams...
(Added on before posting: Am having second thoughts about the backing..4 washings and it is still bleeding onto the Color Catchers...May go back to the Stacks and look for another backing...)

Had a big day at the LQS. They helped me so much! I had e-mailed them asking for help in choosing fabric for BILs quilt. Of course they were willing to show me all sorts of fabric.....and even acted like I was part of the choosing team also...
We looked here and there and at this group and that group....wandered all over the store...I had the help of the owner and a young lady who was color/pattern wise beyond her years...for at least 1 1/2 hours..
I really bought more than I thought I needed, but that is par for the course. I wanted some "oops" inches with each choice, and I got them....
One of the borders may be scrappy and I plan to use these also. It will be a king sized quilt and you will be hearing a lot about it in the days, weeks, months, (years?) to come.....watch the side panel for picture updates..there might be a lot before I am finished....

Just a quicky request...I have been using comment verification for awhile and don't need or want ya'll to be subjected to the new word verification. I don't think you are, but if someone would let me know for sure about this, I sure would appreciate it....
See Ya Later!

I love your fabric shopping!! Oh, I would add those to my stash, just gorgeous. I haven't been bothered by the word verification - they took away that funny 'fuzzy section' that covered one word, so you can see them better.
Okay..checking word verification for you right now...
No verification at all. Hugs x
So many gorgeous fabrics. I would love to add them all to my stash.
Do you save your selvages to sew into something? I had never heard of saving selvages until a couple or so years ago. Now I save them all with maybe an inch of the fabric attached so when I sew it will include some fabric and the selvage. Think of all those valuable selvages that I've been throwing away over the years. Here's a link the the Selvage Blog showing a quilt being made from leftover selvages:

When they first changed word verification it was awful...I couldn't read it at all. They've made it a little better now. I don't use it and don't have a problem with spam but I don't allow anonymous comments either so that might make a difference. blessings, marlene
