Got my invoice in today's mail for the fabrics expected to arrive Monday.  I got a bit carried away: 5 Christmas prints, a French bulldog print, several extra-wide quiltback pieces, and some blenders to go with current projects and the floral group I have.  Can't wait to see it all in person.

Sounds like that order is going to keep you very busy. You know they say "Women love to go shopping" :)

This is about the only thing I like to shop for.
I hate clothes shopping, tolerate food shopping, but do like to shop for fabric for quilting or the shop, and I like to go to Tractor Supply and see what they have available for the horses or dogs/cats.

Opened my boxes, finally, oh so many lovely fabrics.  Need to check my list and see if it's all there, as I did pick quite a bit, including a couple pieces for the quilt you requested, we're kind of working on a rainbow.  ;)

Got through it all and price.  Will take pics as soon as I have time.
There is the cutest French Bull dog print in the mix.

Ok, so I did get through my pictures and listings today.  I'll put up a few pictures.
I did have two fabrics for a baby quilt, but as the fabric isn't currently for sale, I didn't get it photographed.
And, I didn't get to all the backing fabrics.
Here are the fabrics I did get listed:

What's black and white and blue all over?
A zebra quilt with blue accents, that's what, and it's getting there.  I have blocks sewn into 6 rows, and will be sewing those together shortly, then adding a border and the top will be done.  Hopefully, the stars and planets will align and I can go to Friday Night quilting in town and get the layers pinned together so I can quilt it.  Picture when I'm done with the top, maybe later today.

Top finished.  I'll quilt it as soon as I have time.  It's about 50x70".
