woo hoo it's arrived and now fabrics choices to make...

Yeah my pattern arrived yesterday
 
so now I have been looking through my fabrics
 
I wanted to do something a little different from my norm
 
so have chosen these fabrics from Fig Tree to be my base
 
I will also add some Fig Tree scraps bags that include
some blues, peach and more deeper colours for contrast.
 
And I've just seen some February finishes so had better start ....
