Went on a fabric shopping frenzy!

Well, I stopped at Jo-Ann Fabrics today and found some flannel for a few of the quilts.  Quilt #11 will be backed with a burgandy flannel.  Quilt #10 will be backed with a light pink flannel.  Quilt #4 will be backed with a chocolate flannel.  Quilt #1 will be backed with a camel flannel.

I'm waiting on payments for several things that I've been selling on eBay recently so once I get that I hope to be able to go back to Jo-Ann's next week and get some more flannel, yarn, and thread.

Jo-Ann's doesn't carry a peach flannel so I may use the camel or brown on those.  They also don't carry a green flannel that goes with the green quilt tops so I need to find a complementary color for those as well.  Having quilt tops that were made several years ago is proving to be quite interesting - those fabrics aren't made anymore so finding something to be even remotely a close match is quite interesting!

I also bought some burgandy cotton that really closely matches the burgandy in the quilt blocks that I have.  I'm going to cut some sashing and see if I like the looks of it with the blocks.  If I don't, I'll be back to the drawing board with the blocks.
