Now to start!


Hello Everyone,
This afternoon I made some decisions about my fabric choices. Although I love the look of Sentimental Journey and I think it would suit this quilt, I don't have yardage for borders. A long time ago I collected Paris Flea Market. I think it will work here, if I am careful about my thread colours. It's about time it saw the light of day. Also I want to hang this quilt and these colours would suit the room I have in mind.
I have to work out what background fabric to use for the stitcheries now.
Keep stitchin' everyone.
Kayly
