Earlier today I spent some time (a lot of time) browsing The Fat Quarter Shop, I then read this blog post over at Quiltstory which led me to this great competition and so I decided to put together my own bloggers choice bundle. I could have put so many together as I loved so many fabrics and I think I have pretty eclectic tastes (read that as mixed up!!!) but this was my final choice
So that was my mosaic and here they are individually
I do like bright colours but I also like that these can be toned down with neutrals and linens. I'm loving fabrics with text/lettering and I'm always drawn to nautical (in fabric and fashion). I'd use these to make cute things for my boys bedroom, quilts with larger blocks and cushions using small fussy cut pieces, as well as cute purses, cushions and pouches for me. I also love the paper pieced blocks that are being done over at Pink Penguin, Very Kerry Berry etc. and I think some of these would work brilliantly.
So what do you think? Would you buy any or all of these? do you like to use fabric in the same way that I do? I find it fascinating to find out how other people make their fabric choices
These bloggers choices seem to be popping up on alot of peoples blogs at the mo, here are some of my favourites i've seen so far: Leila has done a gorgeous one, I want to buy it, I love her blog, she does some gorgeous work. Arianes is another one that I would buy and use. I like Kiries unusual choice of colours. Maureens is lovely and bright and modern and Michelles is too and it contains toadstools which I love at the mo!

I LOVE all your fabric selections-- and you did such a nice job coordinating them all! I have a bad habit of just picking out a few, and then have to find fabrics later on to match them. I'm very into fussy cutting lately also-- esp Sherbet Pips and Little Apples (a little behind the times). I visited the Fat Quarter Shop for their post holiday sale (and made a nice little purchase)-- can't wait for it to arrive. Hope you had a great holiday! (I'm quite behind on blog reading for the last week-- just catching up now).
I love your choices. In regards to the mosaic - I was having problems too until I saved the photos of the fabric from the FQ Shop to my desk top and then loaded them onto the mosaic maker from there. That worked fine but I was stumped until I figured that out.
I think I've already bought some of your selections lol This is on my 'To Do' list for later...
Love the prints you selected, they work great together!
Great bundle! You've got right: this contest push us to fabric shopping:)
I like how your choices are so whimsical!
