Who Needs A Quilt Top?

Cause I'm really good at making them. What I'm not so good at is finishing them. On April 9, 2009 I postedthis picture of cut pieces for a zig zag quilt. Over two years ago! I ran out of fabric and it wasn't as big and I wanted it, so it's been forever since I've worked on it. Here it is in its current state, currently measuring about 4 ft square.
I finally ordered new fabric to add on to my quilt and am excited to get rolling. Look at all the pretty colors!A lot of the fabrics in the first quilt are Amy Butler. I ordered a few more from her in a slightly different color palette, and also a bunch from Anna Maria Horner which I am very excited about! I love her prints (and, by the way, I love them even more in person than I do on the screen) and am happy I found these in cotton! She's been doing a lot in voile, and while everyone says not to be intimidated by it, I am anyway.
I ordered these from fabric.com so I got free shipping, and I also found a coupon on retailmenot.com so I feel like I got a pretty good deal!
Now that I have all this new fabric, be sure and check back with my blog in about two years to see the finished quilt! LOL
