New day, new fabric

Mock up with new fabric
Originally uploaded by gidgetpics

Well, I wasn't happy with the way the first January BOM turned out. There's a value problem with the fabric. So today I went on the hunt for a new fabric. OMG! Nothing looked right, this was too dark, that was too pink, this was too red. Maybe I should've just stayed home. I finally settled on a fabric that I think has the right value and it's in the right family. It's gorgeous fabric. I'm just not sure how it works in the block. The fabric has a trellis pattern to it. I think I'll wait for some feedback before I stitch it in to a new version. I'll use the first block and make a pillow that coordinates with the final quilt (if I ever get it done). It's definitely a learning experience!
