Finally I can get started!

I didnt think I would ever make up my mind to what fabric I wanted to use for Some Kind Of Wonderful quilt. I loved Annie's and I saw it hanging up at the AQM yesterday and realised that this fabulous range of fabric called Lil' Rascals by Chloe's Closet for Moda was just perfect for it as its fun like the quilt. 



All the right colours and tones ...MMmmmm....but I still have to find some background fabric and I will do as soon as I unpack this bundle of FQ's.
I got it at the AQM yesterday and am so pleased that I can finally get started on Some Kind Of Wonderful and won't be left behind.
Annie is sending me the book and I asked her to sign it for me before she posted it and she said she would... How special is that?
But I have a bit of catching up to do but I will get there.
I promise Chooky!
hugs to all.....

One of the hardest things about a quilt is done - now on with the preparation - then its smooth sailing and as Sharon says - hard to stop sometimes.
