For some reason, I wanted to try out some new fabrics I had purchased. Wonderful, beautiful Japanese fabrics (insert swoon here). I recently found a website that handles a large variety of those gorgeous taupe fabrics from Japan. One World Fabrics. Steve is the owner (who was very pleasant), with whom I spoke on the phone. I had had a problem with the shopping cart on the website, so called. I have to say that I received my order within three days, and am more than satisfied with the fabrics and the quality of service. :)) Anyway, I digress.
My Tweets, another free BOM, appealed to me from the very beginning. However, I am not one to generally use those bright, colorful fabrics. It's not that I do not like projects that I have seen done with them, but I have difficulty picking and choosing to make them work for me. Then I saw this:
Gorgeous, isn't it? All those wonderful Japanese fabrics. mmmmm....
After a little playtime with my fabrics, I have this:

Quite different than the one above, but so far, I like it. I'm not sure what will happen with the rest of the block...stay tuned. :)
This is the most beautiful My Tweets I've seen till so far. Your fabrics are so in balance. And I love these colours!
