I told you that I'd finally caved and bought Blueberry Park. Well I also bought a Cotton and Steel Fat Quarter box. I've had my eye on these for some time. It's a great way to get some unusual fabrics that I wouldn't necessarily buy were I browsing through a quilt shop.

If you recognize any of these, and I haven't mentioned the collection, please let me know in the comments. I have always been a bit of a nerd about fabric designers. :-)
Let's open the Blueberry Park, shall we?! Here are the 25 fat quarters you get:
So this is a moment where I need to quote my daughters.
I. Can't. Even.
Opening this pack for this post was like Christmas. Like a box of 25 of my favourite chocolates where I savour each one (and those I don't care for, I generously give to MacGyver lol). I did not realize these are printed onto Kona cotton. So I am sure each one has its own assigned colour so you can coordinate with solids. May I just say two things?
1. I want to have a DREAMi moment (Drop Everything And Make it)
2. I bought this for no specific quilt purpose, and...
I
Don't
Give
A
Damn
:-)
Hope you stock up on a wee bit of insulation for the Fall! I'm off to enjoy every. Single. Precious. Moment.
with this most adorable, intelligent, kind, patient, polite, skilled 8-year-old (like HOW???) boy! He was working on another Lego while I was working on this post!

I am drooling! I can see why you jumped on these goodies! I'm not 'schooled' on fabric lines, or Cotton & Steel...but who cares! Its a fabulous stash!
ReplyDeleteLovely stash additions; the Blueberry Park in particular tugs at me. Enjoy your time with that precious boy!!
ReplyDeleteSo the first thing I have learned from this post is to get my FQ's out of their boxes, stat, when I get home and really look at them! I've been too afraid to disturb them to enjoy them :) And look at little MacGyver sitting there building with his legos! If he wasn't allergic, I would drive up there this weekend and give him a cat and then play legos with him.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new stash! Petting is good until a project springs up or maybe a squirrel comes along.
ReplyDeleteBe careful - tish always has a cat to rehome !
ReplyDeleteStrange , rereading this blog post and commenting above , I could have sworn I had already commented . I still love the blueberry park and interesting to see your c&s are different cuts to those sue and I got earlier .
ReplyDeleteI have come to realize that there is no sweeter gift to arrive in the mailbox than a bundle of luscious fabric. To see it in photos is one thing (and a good thing at that), but to actually hold and fondle it is HEAVEN!!! My husband has no clue as to the happiness it brings me, but I'm so tickled to know I'm not alone understanding that feeling! Enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteSandra, those are all beautiful! So fun to see what you got. I love the Jacks fabric, but the Blueberry Park is my favorite! What great color! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI actually took advantage of that sale and bought the same box of Cotton and Steel along with another one that was available. My fabric choices have changed lately, so I've had fun discovering these new fabrics. I'm on my way out the door soon to St Mary's for QuiltX...I hope to find some more new and exciting additions to my new stash!
ReplyDeleteViewmaster! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteLast year I very unwisely signed up for a Patch Work City BOM. Due to unforseen circumstances, all those fabrics are still sitting in their untouched plastic bags. I recognize quite a few of the same fabrics you got in your C&S assortment. Of course my fabric cuts are mostly smaller and who knows when I'll ever use them but it will be fun to see what you do with yours.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you are enjoying your family time. I just convinced a friend to buy some Cotton and Steel for her dad's quilt I am helping her with. They have some great masculine prints.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabric. Can't wait to see what you make with it all. I'm a little jealous.......
ReplyDeleteYay for time with your little guy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a truly drool worthy haul of fabrics, LOL.
re reading old posts, and looking at that box again on craftsy, would be the perfect addition to the one i already have
