I have been a little off fabric buying for the past couple of months, but that seems to have abated. Despite not feeling the love for any new fabrics, I kept looking at Cotton & Steel. Who couldn’t with all the hype?<\/p>\n

I am not that fond of the fussy-cuttable prints, but liked the tone-on-tones. I hadn’t yet gotten myself together to go and seek out the prints I wanted when I saw that MassDrop<\/a> had an interesting offer. Interested parties were allowed to choose two FQ bundles<\/a> of the tone-on-tone color groups of their choice. Note that this drop is closed now, but you can request that it be opened again.<\/p>\n

Right before I left for Houston<\/a>, I received the bundles. I didn’t really have a chance to open it as a lot was going on the few days before I left. I was excited about the cute little packets of fabric, though.<\/p>\n

Went to Houston, came home and had a lot of stuff to do around the house, related to work, etc. Finally, I dragged my cutting table out of the closet (I store in the Fabric Closet when not in use or when we have guests or when someone is vacuuming) and began unearthing the rotary cutting mat. What a mess! I have a lot of projects in process, as you know, and it just creates chaos. I am in creative chaos stage right now.<\/p>\n

One of the things I unearthed was the package above. Of course, I opened it.<\/p>\n

Inside were two FQ bundles. Normally, I buy larger cuts of fabric, because you never know when you will need to make a border. Considering that I have plenty of fabric, especially in the blue range, I think fat quarters are plenty. I also have a project in mind for the neutrals.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of kind of ugly greens (the ones on the end-right), but they look ok with the others.<\/p>\n

Now I can I can say I am in the ‘in’ crowd and not just trying to be in the ‘in’ crowd. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I do have to say that once I got them out of the MassDrop packaging, I didn’t want to take the FQ packs apart. They were just so compact and adorable. I gritted my teeth and did it, though.<\/p>\n

The fabrics all go together pretty nicely and as soon as I was the blue and green pack, I will add them to my pile for Tale of Two Cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
