my newest acquisition

i was truly psyched to see the mailman today. he brought me this:


what a delightful little bundle this is. :) i got a 1/2 yard of 8 different fabrics from Riley Blake Fly a Kite. it's more scrumptious in real life!


these beautiful colours are just what my stash needed. such a delicious combination. i LOVE the little characters too. so cute!!


the girl on the swing reminds me of my little sisters...


the boy is super cute too. (yeah, i really should have ironed out those creases before i took pictures, but i was too excited!)


i had to get a close up of that lil doggie. aww. he should be called 'patch'. anyway, i digress...

i can't wait to make something completely stupendous with these sweet gems, but i'm not sure what yet. in any case, i see a lot of fussy cutting in my future...

i just started this one:


i got inspiration from Amy at Lots of Pink Here. i really liked the fussy cutting pattern by Kate Conklin, but i'm working mine out so that they will end up being square instead of losing an inch in the width. i'm OCD...

yup, i finally cut into that 1001 peeps bundle that i got. a whopping 1 yard of each fabric in the Dusk palette. i cut enough squares to make a full size quilt and was surprised with how much fabric was left over. that means more beautiful creations! :) and lots of pillows to match... i'm thinking one of these would work very well in this collection. i can't wait!

so, any suggestions with what i should do with these fabrics? i'm hooked on pinterest and flickr looking for ideas...
