I have been doing bits and pieces of quilting here and there, but I have been sick for a week so I feel behind in everything, home, work and quilting included. I went camping last weekend with my family and we all came home sick with colds. We stayed overnight at my mother-in-law's on the way to the camp since it was quite a ways away from us. While there she gave me a beautiful soft denim jacket with red and white piping. Blue and red are one of my favourite colour combinations and I decided right then that I wanted to make a blue and red quilt.The next morning we left and as we were driving toward the camp I realized that we would be going right past the quilt store that I had visited on our summer vacation. I had bought 1/2 metre of aqua fabric there and it turned out to be the perfect shade to go with my red and aqua quilt, so I used it as the inner border. I did not have enough fabric to use it for the binding, so we stopped and and I got some more of it. While looking around the store, I noticed some charm packs. Wiscasset, red, blue and tan. It was a bit of an eerie feeling when I had just decided to buy some beautiful red and blue fabric. I bought all 4 charm packs that they had and of course I want to make a quilt with it right away. I think I will hold off until I have my Christmas quilting organized.
