Oh boy!

It’s a Boy!The fabrics for my “Quilt for Kids” project arrived yesterday…. definitely “boy” colors and way outside my comfort zone, LOL!
I think I’ll probably run out to the truck and get my sunglasses to wear while I work on this! What fun though, I have never used fabrics so bright!
I’m going to finish up the little Schnibbles “Picnic” quilt before I start on this, I hope to finish the top today, but all quilting is on hold until my new Millennium gets here, it should ship out either Friday or Monday. I want to have plenty of projects to play with on it when it arrives.
I’ll be making some changes to my website over the next few months, while I familiarize myself with the machine, to include longarm quilting services. I very much want to add the Intelliquilter to my setup, but that’s a big expense I’m not sure I can make pay for itself… I’d love some feedback on that if anyone has an opinion!

Do they supply the pattern as well?
CJ, These quilts are so fun. I have pieced 3 and have one quilted. I have 2 more a friend couldn't do of hers in gingham that she wants to send back so have those to do this weekend. I had 2 cats and one pirate. I did have to buy some fabric to bind them-just wasn't quite enough. Enjoy!!
Cindy, Yes the pattern is in it and a label. It's just a little 4 patch and they are only about 3 × 4'-simple and easy and a great cause.
Thanks CJ for the info on this great project. I ordered one and know I have plenty of brights in MY stash to make more! VBG

As the Gma of three boys, I know they'd love the bright fabrics. You'll have fun with this, I know. I'll have to try this sometime. I've been under the weather this week and haven't gotten much done on my BOM quilt. It'll get done, though, eventually.
What a great quilt those fabrics will make! Have fun!
Hi CJ,
Yes, the IntelliQuilter is expensive, especially when starting out. You might want to consider the Circle Lord system instead. I am waiting for my Quilts for Kids fabric kit to arrive!
