The new Sampler Colours

as many of you know, each year we run a program at the store called the Saturday Surprise Sampler.  This year is the twelfth year we have done it, and I am getting quite a collection of sampler quilts!  actually, it is a nice wedding present, although I still have most of the ones I've made.  This year, our first block pickup is not too far away, and so I am starting to play around with the fabrics.  

Rather than basing it on one particular line of fabrics, it will use a colour theme of Neutrals.   

These are indicative of the fabrics we will be using.  

I need to sew up some tester blocks, because I'm not too sure about the cream colour up in the right hand corner.  I do like the darks a lot!   

Well, that's my job for today..

Although I do want to add the borders to my "Jelly Belly" quilt using the zen chic fabrics.  I'm anxious to get it quilted!!  My friend has said she will quilt it on her long arm, and I know she will make it look great,
