I could have opted to make this quilt in cream, blue and yellow. Since my eye always goes first to anything blue and yellow I was excited to make it. However, when I saw this fabric I liked the combinations so I stepped out of my comfort zone and went with the French General. Hmmmm . . . maybe more to that decision than I originally thought!
Also finished the quilt using Moda's Peace on Earth fabric line. First time I ever used a fabric layer cake pattern and it was fun (I won't go into how I read the instructions, but did not follow the fabric placement chart and had to rip all of the quilt apart and start over - seriously, I will not mention that at all. I also won't mention that I couldn't figure out why the pattern was coming through or the red half square triangles at the bottom were not there and that it was a non-quilter friend, who glancing at the placement chart pointed out my error in about two seconds after the top was 99.9% done. No I won't mention how I felt about that at all!). I purchased the book and fabric while still living in Milwaukee. Been in Georgia now for two years so I figure I had it around four years. Pictures are terrible, but you get the idea!
I will be starting the Block of the Month - Women of Courage quilt soon. But, besides that I will NOT BE PURCHASING ANY OTHER QUILT MATERIAL OR PROJECTS UNTIL I FINISH ALL THAT I HAVE STASHED AWAY.
Yeah, right.

Really you WON'T buy anything? Wish I could follow thru when I say that! LOL
Well, Iam making some holiday items for gifts and myself, but I am really trying not to purchase massive amount of fabric for quilt purposes until I get at least 3-4
projects completed that I have already in my quilting closet! I have one queen size quilt started, another I pulled out to review the pattern and at least 2-4 lap or queen size quilts still to go!
