I know, I know...it's my third post of the day...maybe I have had a little TOO much caffiene.
The number one question I get asked here is about my fabric selections. For next years BOM I am using the "Happy" fabric line from Moda and Me and My Sister Designs. This fabric just came out so there is plenty available at The Fat Quarter Shop. I am also using some other fabrics from the same designers that coordinate well. To make things easy for those of you that want to use that fabric I have made a list of everything I have ordered so far. You can download it here. Unless otherwise noted I have ordered half yards.I will also be pulling fabric from my stash for this quilt but it will all coordinate with the Happy fabric. The purple I used for the birds in Miss Kelly (the BOM center block) is from Maywood Studio, it's one of thier Shadowplay fabrics and I can't find the number (sorry). I'm sure there are plenty of tone on tone purples that will work.
Another Note, if you are using Miss Kelly for the BOM you will need a larger background square than is stated in the pattern. A 34" square should work great.
I know this BOM isn't starting until January but I wanted people to get the fabric while it was still available.
Ok, OK I'll go away now. Maybe I should have a glass of wine instead of an iced tea.
I can't wait for the BOM in January! But I don't know how to do paypal to get the center pattern. Help?

So pretty and I really want to join. FYI for everyone, my total at Fat Quarter Shop for all of the fabrics is $226.24 (for the purple tone-on-tone I picked a Moda Marbles fabric.) Now I just have to justify spending so much money before I click that "Check Out" button! :) Thanks for the fabric list and the BOM!
I voted for you at McCalls -- I think your quilt is, by far, the best in the group (and the only one I would consider making.)

Erin:
The blue fabric that you used for the border on Miss Nora, Is it also made by Moda?
Thanks.

Erin -- Blog away! I discovered your blog through the posy needle case pattern posted on quiltgallery.com which I found through the Oct/Nov 2010 Quilter's Home list of best quilt websites (they missed the boat not listing yours). I pulled an all-nighter to go back and read all your entries. Thank you so much for the hours of enjoyment. I look forward to checking in and reading more.

Hello,
First at all I love your designs. They are just gorgeous, your choice of colours, and everything.
I have a question, I dont understand how much of each fabric I have to buy.
is it one yard each?
Thanks
Sandy
