My package of fabric arrived from Vintage and Vogue. I ripped open the box and spread it all out right on top of my cutting table. This is the Real Deal. The fabric for the blended quilt I am REALLY making for the Challenge! The fabric (Marleigh by Benartex) is more gorgeous than my wildest imagination. It may be too beautiful to cut up for the Blended Quilt Challenge I am doing with Cindy, Lisa, and Perry. (Dear Readers–go check out the other gals’ blogs and see their projects. They are a week ahead of me, since I didn’t have my act together on our start date.)
I will let these photos of the fabrics speak for themselves. Can you even believe that toile?
How in the world will I force myself to cut into this stash? I believe I may have to redecorate my entire house around this fabric collection. The greens, the dark reds, caramel tans, rich browns…What can I say? I am in love. Please girls? Can I just have a couple of days to fondle this stuff before I start the project?

Just makes you want to roll in it, doesn’t it?

OMG Nicole, I love those fabrics especially the purple ones. I guess I should start checking out Vintage and Vogue, just what I need. LOL
They are beautiful. I don’t think I have ever seen them. This will be a wonderful quilt.
Wow, those are stunning, Nicole! Yes, I can see your reluctance to cut into them, but my what a BEAUTIFUL quilt they will become!!!
It is gorgeous! I am very jealous!
Gorgeous fabrics! I love to feel and look at fabric so I know what you mean. Enjoy everything about them and don’t forget to let us see your progress. Can’t wait to see the finished quilt. Thanks for sharing with us. ~Adrienne~
Those are beautiful fabrics. I wouldn’t want to cut them up either!
Your fabrics are lovely! Can’t wait to see your project!
Love those greens. It’ll make a wonderful quilt. Can’t wait to see the progress.
OMG that is beautiful…I’m thinking you should maybe leave the pieces just the way they are and go back to the blue and white project…way top pretty to cut into. The stack is pretty just the way it is.
I have looked at that fabric and drooled and then talked myself out of it. It is going to be gorgeous in the pattern you are going to use, just gorgeous!! And I am also behind at least a week because I have not been able to do any of mine. Maybe by next week we will have something to show.
Again, Karen is thinking its time to put on her dark clothing and thief in the night. Karen is also wanting to email you about comments you posted on her blog but she cant’ reply to any of them.
…more reasons to thief this luscious fabric so you dont have the stress of cutting into it as well.
Very beautiful fabrics and colors. I love the border print. There’s a William Morris flavor to it.
The fabric is fabulous!! I came to read your blog and I got sidetracked on the Vintage and Vogue website for 1/2 hour – no wonder I don’t get anything done!!
It is going to be a wonderful quilt – I am looking forward to watching your progress
I think you need a few moments to yourself. ROFLOL!!!! Your new fabric is pretty and your quilt will be too. Or your curtains or whatever you decide to do. LOL
I can see why you wanted to wait for these fabrics AND why you don’t want to cut into them just yet. But just think of all the fun you will have when you do take the plunge!
