It must be winter, I am dragging out all my colourful fabric. It is the time of year that I crave colour. Last week I helped a handful of customers pick fabrics for quilts and they all were quite bright. I thought that would have cured my colour craving. Well I came home and hauled out my Kaffe Fassett stash and started organizing it.

I thought it would make a great log cabin quilt. As you can see my pile at the back is all of the Kaffe Fassett lights that I own. So I will have to cut up a lot of it. I am starting WITHOUT A PLAN. Just piece together a bunch of blocks and see where it takes me. Once I got a few blocks done I had to lay them out. The red blocks were so bright, I just love them.

Lovvve the blue blocks as well. The green blocks are a little bazaar. I have a funny combination of green fabrics. We'll see, hopefully they will work. Then I decided to mix them all up. Wasn't fond of that combination.

I have these large mirrors by Jan Krentz.

The first layout was a little boring. I thought the red wasn't as noticeable in the border and it was my favorite of the blocks,

I like the second layout better. I will have to make more blocks for this one, and the green looks okay.

I think I will finish up the blocks and try a few other layouts before I make my final decision.
Back to the sewing machine. Thanks for stopping by.
