And your new fabrics! Well....not that I'm a pastel person by any means, but they remind me of wallpaper at my grandmother's house and so I really like them. I do like the cottagey look, and a quilt with these will be just perfect on the porch swing. I can just imagine using it on a cool evening with quiet conversation...or on a cool morning with a cup of hot tea and a good book...you're on to a good thing, Melanie!Journeyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632561478458922369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27246345.post-29901937632704973112009-03-03T04:18:00.000-06:002009-03-03T04:18:00.000-06:00I love it - "it doesn't hurt if he doesn't know." ...I love it - "it doesn't hurt if he doesn't know."
