My name is Cherise and I'm new here! I discovered this blog when you guys were almost finished with your 'Tis the Season Quilts. I just loved them! I thought it would be so cool to quilt a long with you. I emailed Chookyblue and told her I was interested in joining you in the SKOW QAL. At the time she told me there were more than 10 people ahead of me. I thought there was no way I'd ever be included here. I got the book anyway and planned on following along on my own. Time went by and I never got started. Then out of the blue, at the end of January, Chookyblue emailed me and told me I was in! Thank you so much! :) I was excited but already so far behind. I immediately started thinking about what fabrics I wanted to use. I thought, thought and thought some more. I kept coming up with ideas and then changed my mind over and over again. All the sudden it was the end of February. Then I finally made a decision. I choose these . . .
The Pam Kitty Morning Collection! I absolutely love the vibrant colors! :) I ordered quite a few of the fabrics from The Quilting Bug. They arrived very quickly! Here's close-ups of the prints I got . . .
I got 1/2 yard each of these polka dots and checked fabrics. That way I can use a lot of them in the borders, columns, blocks and appliques. I only ordered 1/4 yard of all of the rest, but got a big variety to use. Here they are . . .
And more . . .
And even more . . .
Yes I got
Until next time . . .

Looooove your fabrics!
oh you are going to make such a beautiful quilt with those gorgeous fabrics. I can't wait to see your first blocks. I love the PKM fabrics but only have a few charm squares...in an ideal world I would have all of them, lol! Have fun cutting and sewing :)

OMG Cherise I just discovered that fabric range in a US mag last night (haven't seen it in my area of Australia yet). It is gorgeous, so I just had to place my order for some from Ebay US today. I can't wait to see your blocks & quilt. It will be gorgeous. Tracee xx
so pleased you have finally made the choice on fabrics and I can't wait to see it start to come together.........looking forward to many more posts...........welcome to the group..........
Welcome aboard - I'm sure you will have a lot of fun - and encouragement - and hopefully not too much whip cracking by Miss Chookyblue - I thnbk your quilt will look great with white and all those colours.
Hey Cherise! Your fabrics are so lovely and cheerful that I'm sure you won't be able to help having fun making this quilt. A little tip from someone who has forgotten this ... don't forget to reverse ALL of your pics before tracing them to blanket stitch applique. I've been caught a few times by faulty memory! :0) Have fun! Bear Hugs! KRIS
Welcome aboard....Your fabric choices are lovely.
