I think TFQ is farther ahead than I am on that front, but I am excited about the fabrics I have picked so far.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I have a Philip Jacobs fabric. This fabric pulled my color scheme together, sort of. I saw the non-PJ fabrics laying on top of the PJ fabrics and thought they would work together. The solids are from the Chicopee line and the dots are just&#8230;.dots.<\/p>\n<p>I need more fabrics; I want the piece to be scrappy, but a controlled kind of scrappy. I just haven&#8217;t taken the time to look yet. I think I need another purple or violet as well. I know I want a lot more fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>One big problem, for me, is the background. We need about 4.5 yards for the background and I don&#8217;t have that much of any fabric. I am not sure what look I want for the background. I thought about one of the dots that I have with a white background. Some of the fabrics I have may be a possibility, but I have to look&#8211;I have to make visual decisions visually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TFQ and I decided we wanted to work on a project together.
