| This might be my favourite of all the Oakshott colours |
My brain is bubbling over with new ideas, and I have a feeling I will be working on a few smaller projects soon.
I have been enjoying paper piecing lately, and thought I would share the link to this really cool (and free!) Compass Collection paper piecing block of the month series I stumbled upon courtesy of Don't Call Me Betsy. I definitely see a Wheel of Fortune block in my future soon.
Also, I had a moment of total confusion and delight this weekend at Spotlight (for readers in the US, Spotlight seems to be the Australian and NZ equivalent of Joann's). I am not always the biggest fan of Spotlight's quilting fabrics, although I do think their selection has improved in recent years (aided substantially by the addition of the DS Quilts range).

But, what did I spy on the shelves this weekend? That's right - this fun print from the 1001 Peeps collection by Lizzy House for Andover Fabrics. I cannot explain what it was doing at Spotlight, but at $11 a metre (on sale), you can bet I snapped some up. The rows of towers run parallel with the selvedge - hello perfect backing fabric!
Have you scored any great fabric bargains lately?

Wow that is quite a find for Spotlight - although I agree their fabric selection seems to have improved! love those oak shott blocks
Oh that is a cute piece! Should be a great backing...
I have found that some of the fabrics in quilt stores are reproduced later on for Spotlight but in a cheaper fabric. So beware of the fabric quality. I have seen 2 designs there recently that were originally from a couple of years ago.
That fabric is amazing! I had not seen it before, need to check it out now!
The tower fabric is great.
That *is* a really gorgeous, gorgeous shot color.
I did score a great buy! There's a fabric store in my neighborhood that is closing their doors. Because they are clearing out inventory I was lucky to purchase gads of fabric.
Thanks for the link! Definitely going to make some of those in my future. I posted about some deals I got recently here. http://tildastwistedlife.blogspot.com/2012/10/an-lqs-yard-sale.html

Can`t wait to see more.....love the color
I agree, that would make a wonderful backing fabric! Great find!
