I've had this stash of fabrics set aside for months and months ...
you can't see the greens, but there's a stack of them
ready and waiting.
Now that Spirit Song and Jester are at the binding stage,
I can begin work on another quilt top.
After plenty of pondering, quite a few sketches,
and a LOT of mind changing,
I'm almost certain that I've finally (!) settled on a design.
I will not be making my version as large as Bonnie's,
and there's always the chance my layout will morph from hers
(it happened before with my Dandelion Detour and her Old Tobacco Road);
but I love the two color scrappy look;
and I can't wait to actually use that fabulous magnolia print
that originally inspired this combination!
I then planned to use these colors
for a project during Tonya's Liberated Amish Get Together ~
after living in northern Indiana's Amish country for many years,
the colors remind me of peaceful summer cornfields,
bountiful autumn harvests,
ripening spring wheat, and
the glorious, hardworking Clydesdale horses
of well-tended farms.
Ideas are flowing . . .
but first, I need to cut into a lot of fabrics!
No more stash paralysis ~ let the process begin!

Here's to a fresh, sharp rotary blade! And, she's off...
Can hardly wait to see what wonderful creation comes from this inspiration! It looks exciting!
Ooo, that IS a luscious magnolia print! Whatever you do, it's going to be gorgeous.
That's the same magnolia fabric I used on the back of the Sunshine quit I made for my son. It is gorgeous!
Love the design and the fabrics you have chosen. Now to see it come to life.
That group of fabric is beautiful!
