Who Likes Fabric?
I sure do! After being rather frustrated with the complete lack of grays in my stash when making the 4x5 Modern Bee Blocks I decided I needed to use the $20 gift card I had for my local quilt shop to buy some grays and whatever else caught my eye. ;)

Grays are definitely in style. I found no lack of them in the shop and choose a light, medium and dark gray that I thought would be good blenders and a few yellow/mustard prints that I will use in the HST Quilt. I have to admit that I do like the gray/mustard combo.
Speaking of mustard, there was a small spot of mustard on the Sunkissed fabric and so I ended up getting it half off. Sweet! But really, who goes around eating a sandwich in a fabric store and wiping mustard off their fingers onto the fabric? Weird.

| Found at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics |
I kept my eyes open for some of the new American Jane line, School Days, but the shop didn't have any. The Fat Quarter Shop doesn't have it in stock either. ?!?! They usually have everything. I did find some of the prints at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics - these are my favorite prints of the line. I really should get some...right?

I also ogled Denyse Schmidt's new line Chicopee which comes out in August. I love the lighter prints.
Available May 2012
And if you wanted some more fabric to coordinate with Chicopee, I think this line by Jenean Morrison would be perfect!
Available June 2012
If I get my act together and finish up some UFOs, maybe I will start a mustard and gray project with some of the beautiful prints in Madrona Road line. Love the florals.
