Rather a lot of fabric

There's been quite a lot of fabric making its way into the house recently - and its impossible not to get excited even though most of it is destined for a couple of toddler quilt commissions.

Saints and Pinners::

1. Metrodots, marigold - the most stunning colour and simple design (and as ever it turned up in the blink of an eye, Jo and Fran really are amazingly quick with delivery)

Seamstar::

1.Heather Moore/Cloud9, Cut Out and Keep, avenues (not for the commissions, just for me because it is so pretty)

2. Monalna Organics, Circa 60 Beach Mod, mod gulls in mineral (Courtney goes in for pretty quick delivery too)

Cia's Palette::
1. Alexander Henry, June Song, natural/brite
2. Alexander Henry, 2D Zoo, pool (one of my favourite staple 'boy' fabrics)
3. Follow Your Imagination, Big Starburst, aqua/green (I've had my eye on this for a while.....waited until I had an order to place anyway)
4. Amy Butler Lotus, Wallflower - sky (I've wanted some of this for a while too)
I have found Cia's Palette the easiest of the US sites to use - postage is very reasonable and it doesn't take too long to come (I'm such an impatient person!).

Fabric Rehab::

1. and 2. Tip Top Elephants, yellow and orange
3. and 4. Spring Street Linea Flower, green and turquoise
5. Urban Circus Elephants, blue (another one that should be a good staple)
6. Trefle Scandinavian Blooms, red

Doughtys::
1. Amy Butler Lotus, Wallflower, cherry (I intended to order this from Cia's Palette but somehow missed it off, luckily I found it in the UK)

Backstitch::
Lots of solid colours from their very good value Klona range (quick delivery too and their fabric colour swatch is really useful)....these will be used for the current comissions and lots of other future projects. Just realised that I forgot to take a picture of them on their own.....but they are shown below too.

Commission #1::
Very eclectic and colourful - has taken quite a lot of too-ing and fro-ing to find a selection of fabrics that the customer is happy with - she really likes bright and cheery, and isn't at all bothered by gender conventions for colour (which I think is pretty cool).  The quilt is destined for her little boy.  Mostly these are the new fabrics shown above, and ordered for this project, but there's a few from my stash too.  Have just started piecing the front and I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Comission #2::
A completely different, much tighter, mix of colours which I think will be really pretty without being too twee and babyish.  Destined for a little girl.  Fabrics mostly from my stash with a couple of new ones from the above orders.  Will finish #1 before I get going on this one.

I've also got a pile of fabrics looked out to make a quilt for our baby.  I'm still waiting for a superbuzzy order which should have a couple more to add to it....can't wait to get started on this one.....just hope the order isn't lost in the post.
