Have you ever purchased material on an impulse? Well in the near future I will post my impulse purchase that I have had for 7 months and just don't know what to do with it...it's pretty material but it just doesn't grab me now like it did the first time I saw it...UGH!

Muted Florals
Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful holiday! My Christmas was filled with gift cards to quilt shops and several to the Fat Quarter Shop. I can not wait to start purchasing more material!
So here is some more material I purchased when my local quilt shop was closing. The price was just too good to pass up but now I need to figure out what to make with this material. I've really been wanting to make a quilt out of pinwheels, but don't think this is the mateial for that. I used some of these fabrics in the first quilt I made so I'm sure I can throw a few solids in with these to break-up so much of the yellowy/gold colors.

I used to buy on impulse, but not as much now..
I do love rose fabric, I think I have a couple of them myself..
They would make up into a very pretty quilt..add some soft solids and go for it.

I would add some solids and make half-square triangles with 1/2 solids 1/2 floral and the play with the arrangement until I liked it! And my sewing room is FULL of impulse purchases! I am curbing it a lot now, but it's hard!
If I had enough money for all of the fabric I would love to purchase on impulse, my house would be exploding with fabric! Love those pieces you picked up!
i have a little something for you on my blog when you have a minute.
Such pretty fabrics. If you're not wanting to loose the fabric design with cutting, how about something like this http://handmadebyalissa.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/land-sea-quilt-pattern/
I think we all buy on impluse especially whe we first start quilting because we want to make everything! I'm trying not to do that anymore. :)
