it's too late for capital letters

ok, i couldn't wait to post pictures of my new fabric. we found two nice quilt shops in huntsville, al. i went a little overboard, but i'm justifying by knowing that i wont get to a quilt store in the next several months. do i really have to justify buying fabric? nah! i did need some more greens. polka dot estates ate up a lot of my greens.

i also need a few christmas fabrics for some up coming projects.

i'm always on the look out for good aquas, and this neutral will be perfect for the four way swap i'm working on with laurajay, lucyellen06 and calamity kim. those last two colorful pieces will stretch me. have you ever noticed that i almost always buy tone on tone/monochromatic fabrics? it's just the way i am.

and this last bit, just because. ever find a fabric that you want to buy the whole bolt and decorate everything in sight with it? that print on the far right just makes me swoon.

and that's the end of my shopping adventure. i also bought a aqua corduroy and a snoopy print for marguerite's christmas quilt.


on a side note, i'm so quick to post on flickr and slow to post on the blog. but i started thinking that some of you don't love flickr as much as i do, and you might never see the fabric i bought unless i share it here. so there you have it!

Just curious - when you buy fabrics like you did here, how much do you buy of each?
