I've had a fun time purchasing fabric this week...not good for the report today, but most all of it will come off in March. You see most of it was for fabric to make my #8 2012 March UFO with Patchwork Times. I'll be making Road to Brownwood one of the designs you can get on Patchwork Times FREE patterns tab. My project is to be called Konnections to Kollinwood simply because of the relationship to where my parents live and the easy of changing two "Cs" to that sought after "K". I picked up these fabrics from three different quilt shops. The three greens are from Beverly's, the three camel fabrics from Amidon's and the purple from Rosie's. I'll be stopping just after the pieced border and use the dark camel for the binding.
I spotted this pattern on Quiltville Chat (Bonnie Hunter's Yahoo Group) recently. I picked up a few dark teals to go along with others I've already got in my stash to make this project. It's not something I need to get done right away. It will go together fast I believe. It is called Pineapple Nine Patch from the Cathy Wierzbicki book called Geometric Gems. (I spent enough at Rosie's that I was able to get the book 40% off. WINK!)
I picked up this purple FQ just because I liked it. I believe it will have a home in another 2012 UFO whose number has yet to be called. Krazy Kins will use bright oranges and bright purples.
I'm still working on trimming up the flying geese of Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay. Kordova Klosure just might get done soon...sure hoping so. The stack closest to the Brooklyn Revolver on the right is yet to be trimmed up. Then as I've been saying, it will be time for block assembly. All other components are complete.
So with all this said my numbers for this first week of March. Be sure to see how other quilters are doing using up their stash at Patchwork Times.

I like the purple, and you are doing good wit your trimming. I bet you are really enjoying your new set up?
Great additions and I love those teals and the pattern with them.
