Tale of Two Cities Fabrics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This project has been on my mind since December when Friend Julie suggested it. I am finally making a wobbly start. The start is that I have started to choose the colors.<\/p>\n

Julie bought me the book as a gift and after some discussions with her, I decided I would be inspired by the city around me. This, in my mind, fits into the ‘City Sampler” theme that Tula Pink encourages also.<\/p>\n

In the winter, the sky is very blue here and, though cold, I enjoy the strong light and clear colors. It should be no surprise that turquoise factors into my choices. I just can’t help myself.<\/p>\n

Another appeal of this project is the block element. I miss making blocks on a regular basis like I did for the A-B-C Challenge<\/a> and the Star Sampler<\/a>. This project will help me satisfy that craving and, hopefully, will not annoy me.<\/p>\n

Finally, shortly after Julie and I talked about the project, Kelly brought it up as a BAMQG small group project. This means I can have fun with Julie and participate more in BAMQG.<\/p>\n
