I bought Fabric!!!

I searched and searched and just could not find the fabric that I really wanted to use on my Betty Quilt, so one day I walked into my fabric store ( okay it was Tuesday) and they had this rack of fabrics at $2.50 per yard - and you KNOW I had to go look,..... and I found the *perfect* backing for my Betty Quilt and they had just enough ( I hope) yards to make it work.

 It kind of reminds me of the wallpaper in my aunts house*grin*

My oldest son had a swim meet in north Denver, so I met up with Jessica at the quilt shop, picked up some Quilt of Valor tops, and we checked out the quilt store - and this fabric jumped in my hands and wounldn't get out. I totally blame Jess  ( tee hee) The dots are half yards, and the others are Fat Quarters and I have no plan for it. I will be honest, but I liked it, and NO ONE was there to stop me!! 

This last be of fabric was a donation to the QOV cause. Which is very nice. All the QOV fabric I picked up last week has been cut into 2 1/2 inch strips - 33 yards worth (thank you very much)

Our sew day is the 27th, so I will tote all the strips and this yardage, and we will make tops - and I think that this will work great for the borders. If anyone wants to join us - it is the 27th from 2-5 and you can email me for directions.

Now I guess I had better get to the numbers right?
