Yellow Brick Road Quilt

brick

Remember this package of loveliness that I won at our guilds xmas meeting last year. Well it is now a flimsy!   I decided to use the Yellow Brick Road pattern as it uses up the whole fat quarter so no leftovers.  I took out the yellow fabrics as there were more than I needed in the pack to make a queen size quilt.   I wish I had enough brown fabric to use it in the outer border but I didn’t so it went in the inner border.  I’m finding living without a local fabric shop very hard as Lori and I are working on two new patterns and it’s hard to make samples when you don’t have fabric!  I’m finding ordering online, waiting and then finding out the main fabric for your quilt is on backorder is getting a bit frustrating.   But it will all come together I just wish I could piece them now when I have the time.

  2. You have added to my gratitude towards my LQS... Even though I do 95% of my quilt buying online it is a blessing to have a store just 20 minutes away!

  4. Over the Rainbow is wonderful and I order from Canada. Laura gives the best customer service and the prices for fabric and shipping are good.

  6. Kathy: Fantastic quilt. Boy, do I ever hear what you are saying about no local quilting store. Frequently not having the right fabric takes the enthusiasm out of the project.
