Eye Candy

I’m working away on this unbelievably beautiful winter day, but I wanted to take a moment for a little show and tell.  I’ve just received one last Christmas present.  It’s something that I picked out for myself and even though I used gift certificates from my family to buy it, it feels like a major splurge.

No, it’s not jewelry or a new handbag or a new pair of boots — although I did recently get a new pair of boots that actually make me feel like a better person.  Who knew?!

It’s even better.

It’s a fat quarter bundle of Kim Diehl’s latest fabric collection Sunday Best, and it is AMAZING!!!

Here it is tied up in a sweet ribbon compliments of Fat Quarter Shop — they do such a great job with their packaging!

Here’s the flip side…

I had to force myself to untie the ribbon for a closer look.
Here is the dark side of the bundle…
And the lighter side…  Have a favorite?

I cannot imagine taking this bundle apart to pre-wash it, much less cut into it!
Here are the darks and lights side by side…
 
And here’s the entire collection fanned out.

Be still my beating heart.

    Beautiful fabric!

    I love your quilt in the current issue of Primitive Quilts & Projects!

    Very pretty! I'd be hard-pressed to choose the dark or light side; love them both! I recently treated myself to a fat quarter bundle too; Janet Clare's Nocturne colllection. I tentatively have a pattern selected for it. What will you make with yours? Anita in Wisconsin neetsb@gmail.com

    Thanks for your comment, Anita! I love the Nocturne fabric too! Same colors as Snowman Gatherings II but modern — yum! I don't have any specific plans for the Sunday Best. My quilts are typically pretty scrappy, so I think I'll roll the fabric into my stash and it will end up in a bunch of different projects. Have fun! Jen
