After much deliberation, I have decided to go with the BOM option. Yes, I undoubtedly have lots of fabric choices in my stash that would be very suitable, but there are a few reasons why I've chosen the BOM. Firstly, I love Anni's fabric choices as well as her patterns, so feel very happy about the quilt I will be making. Secondly, three of my kids are competitive swimmers. Requires long hours of waiting as well as all the things expected of parents of sporting kids. I'm on the club committee and involved in administration of meets, etc. Thirdly, my parents are both elderly and their health issues have dramatically increased in the last twelve months. Things don't look good for 2015. So, that was the final part of my decision. I know that I could spend many nights trying to select a piece of fabric and agonise and procrastinate. This way, it's just prepare the appliqué or stitchery and sew. The idea of sewing is very appealing. Looking forward to getting started. Early February is proposed start for the BOM.

Hi Marg..........great to hear the pattern is ordered........
Great idea, Marg. I am using my fabrics and have already spent a while choosing bits and pieces!
Marg, sounds as if you are going to be busy, so its ideal that you choose what works best for you. Its going to be fun no matter what!
Sounds like a well-thoughtout and considered plan!! I considered getting the BOM too, but finances dictated that I just get the pattern and try to use as much stash as I can before purchasing more fabric :) I look forward to watching your quilt grow over the coming months!! It truly is a gorgeous fabric selection Anni has in this pattern!!!
