    Love the teal. I’m just moving toward the metallic prints. I mostly work in cozy warm flannel. I’ve noticed that you work in blocks I don’t get out a lot so is that how most quilters work? I guess I’m a big picture gal. I have to envision the overall impact of the design and what happens if I run out if a fabric? Have a great week Mollie Sparkles. Oh how did you and Mr Sparkles like War Paint?

    I love the metallics and I LOVE these selvages. I am somewhat more vintage than you are and remembering…..I was country, when country wasn’t cool….so here is where I confess that I loved shiny and sparkly when shiny-blingy wasn’t cool…..somewhere in the range of three quarters of a century! My quilts and my world are embellished with shiny, bling you, sparkles that make me smile. Oh the poor mother/daughter who looked at you askance! They may never know the joy of the encounter they spurned.. 😎

  4. There is something about metallic sparkle that makes me want to hoard it all. I agree that it is surprising to me the number of manufacturers and fabrics that haven’t stepped up the selvage game. And oy, too bad the mother daughter duo didn’t work with you.

    Molli, you are a quilt Goddess and I love you. But I understand how that mother daughter felt. In the world of men-explain-everything.txt, they probably usually find fabric shops to be a reprieve from that. I know you meant to help and you just wanted their project to look good (and also for them to leave), but in a culture where men feel like we need their advice 24/7, it’s nice to have a safe space where we won’t have random guys telling us what we’re doing wrong.

  6. The mother and daughter do not know what they missed, and if only they had asked? They should learn to NEVER underestimate a man in a fabric quilting shop!!! The edges, the shine, the prints, you did so well in 30 minutes. When Hugh is waiting outside, I, too, can do a lot of damage in a very short time. One of my favourite fabric shops, the gentleman/owner is always so helpful, and has a great eye for colour and matching up fabrics together.

  7. Patricia says:

    Wow! Those fabrics are stunning! I can understand why you bought yardage! As for your mother/daughter experience – I love making friends in quilt shops!

  8. Very well explained.The material selection and the pattern is really worth.I love sewing and quilting.This helped me a lot in my project works.
