Love it! <br />Thank you for the iris pic - such a joy.<br />Your new trio of fabrics are wonderful. <br />Looking forward to your deck garden which is always so jolly.

Ooooohhh, I also like the idea of log cabin-y pineapples. Would be totally cute.<br /><br />Awww, imagining Mo's homecoming just made me smile. I bet he was a happy boy :)<br /><br />Have a good weekend! <br />Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664604149338448077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-14442534982755946702021-05-13T21:53:53.179-04:002021-05-13T21:53:53.179-04:00I think I would choose the Kaffe print. It's ...I think I would choose the Kaffe print. It's fun and it would hide any marks that may get on it while in use on the beach. <br />I find it really disappointing when the color of the fabric I ordered online doesn't match the color of the fabric that comes in the mail. I know a lot of things contribute to how colors photograph in person and how they look on a monitor/phone screen, but it's still disappointing. (And the star fabric that you call "cocoa brown" looks purple on my screen!)<br />That's a fun little quilt. I love the quirky ones. How old do you think it might be? I couldn't decide.<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-2302568602193367542021-05-12T18:59:52.251-04:002021-05-12T18:59:52.251-04:00LOL, my comments my take a bit of scrolling up and...LOL, my comments my take a bit of scrolling up and down to I don't forget stuff!<br /><br />I like the KF print best, too. The plain polka dots looks okay but doesn't match the 'fun' of the quilt top. And I think the shibori is pretty but next to the pineapples it looks like it has a greenish cast. If you hate light blue I'd be tempted to try bleaching it! Or over-dye it with a different color - pink to make it lavender-ish? Or just hang on to it as it may be perfect for a future project.<br /><br />I LOVE the pins fabric, that's so cute! The seaweed looks very similar to the blue/aqua print we searched for. And maybe there's something wrong with me but I like the 'daddy long legs' print! Of course I see electronics printed circuits, not spiders, lol.<br /><br />The doll quilt top is cute and will be adorable!<br /><br />I love the pineapple pillow, and I think you ought to keep it as a throw pillow for the bed that gets the quilt. Yes, matchy-matchy but it's pretty!<br /><br />I think a pineapple block made like a log cabin would be gorgeous! <br /><br />I had a weird idea when I saw the polka-dot potential backing - I could kind of picture it as the background for a quilt with really bright blocks - like primary colors. I don't know why it popped into my head, but???<br /><br />It's crazy how much we miss our pets when we're apart for even a day, isn't it? Mo is probably missing you, too, but I hope he has a good visit.<br /><br />Nice thought to add seeds to your cards. I went through my old seeds stash and tossed a bunch that were dated for 1994 and 1997! I kept the ones from 2017 as they might actually still be good - so I'll stick some around my tomatoes.<br /><br />It's been chilly here, with wind from the north so it has a bite to it! But it's supposed to start warming up again on Friday, when the rain comes back! I'm wondering if the whole summer is going to be weirdly cool?<br /><br />Take care and thanks for sharing!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248202844330247654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-37474039498124987662021-05-12T18:02:07.765-04:002021-05-12T18:02:07.765-04:00There's no decision to be made in my mind, it ...There's no decision to be made in my mind, it has to be that wonderful wild Kaffe print, but then you already knew I'd say that! As for that sorry looking faux "shibori" fabric, I think I'd be inclined to use it only for bindings or very narrow sashings. What a disappointment after waiting so long for it to arrive. I love the pin print and that crazy blue dress print, what fun to think of the best way to feature that one.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-77285503526006968412021-05-12T03:08:25.343-04:002021-05-12T03:08:25.343-04:00Backing has to = KF print!!

What if you couldn't see real pins? LOL<br /> <br />Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460244411628464458noreply@blogger.com
