{Spools & Flower Girl or Why Did I Buy More Quilt Patterns?}

I've found a lot of free quilt patterns online and have downloaded several that I like and plan to make...someday. There are other patterns that are so pretty that I can't help but purchase them with the hope that the perfect fabric will materialize {ha ha} and I'll create a beauty. 
I have been eyeballing two patterns from Camille at {Thimble Blossoms}. I've already purchased her {Swoon} pattern, which I'm making as a gift. I plan on a second {Swoon} quilt for ME from Bonnie & Camille's {Ruby} fabric line. I love their fabrics.


These are two of Camille's newest patterns:

This morning I caved and ordered them both. Why not? I'll just add them to my "to do" list, which is ever increasing. I'm hoping someday I'll have all the time I want for my crafty hobbies and these quilts, a drawer full of knit socks, and my stained glass Orca panel will get done. 

{Marmalade}

The mother-daughter team at {Bonnie & Camille} have done it again with {Marmalade}. I love the addition of  tangerine to their color palette. I'm already dreaming of a Fat Quarter bundle of these heavenly fabrics. The release is planned for October 2012 but hopefully there will be some early pre-cuts available at Green Fairy Quilts.

I count 40 different fabrics! I'm eyeballing the tangerine stripe, fifth from the top, as a binding fabric. There are so many projects that will be perfect for this collection. I can't wait!


In June, the Mystery BOM from The Fat Quarter Shop will be starting. The fabric for this quilt is also from Bonnie & Camille, it's called {Vintage Modern} and I love it too.  

These ladies know how to create amazing fabric.
