OK, so if I write a post about the quilts I plan to make, does that mean I’ll actually get to them? The projects are stacking up, but I found some beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabric today (pictured at right).
I wouldn’t really consider myself a pink roses kind of person, but this fabric is bright and clean and I was immediately drawn to it. I have been planning to make quilts for the girls from old baby dresses — a way to recycle and pass something along. So I saw a copy of Quilt Pink magazine (available at your local quilt shop) which is a publication of Better Homes & Gardens to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Have you noticed that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Talk about the power of women and PR.
Anyway, this lovely magazine has a beautiful applique rose quilt pattern in it:
So I think I’ll try to make a small quilt for each girl and back it with the roses fabric. With both girls’ birthdays in December, the holidays and a trip to Hawaii coming up, we’ll see if it happens. Look for my finished quilts sometime next year!
