Design Wall Monday

Another Monday with nothing on my wall - but I have an excuse, as we've been on the road for the past week!
I do have some fabric to show that I bought at many different locations while travelling......
 I began by choosing some yellows as that colour stack was a bit lacking in my stash, and of course some greens and oranges came along for the ride. 







 
Then I found these beautiful butterflies and a soft floral print on pale yellow...












The five 1 yard pieces were in a bundle in the sale basket at the quilt show - cute for kids quilts......














Then a few batik fat quarters came home to play.....














Fairy frosts were calling my name - a half yard of yellow and fat quarters of the rest.....




 





I had been looking for a great fabric to use as my "teaching aid" next winter, as I have a large number of quilters in my Florida group who would like to try a stack n whack, so this Oriental fills the bill.....





 

I'm always on the look-out for cute panels for kids and baby quilts, and the little animal print was calling my name.....








 

I  had been looking for some gradated fabrics for a while, and found these being cleared - fat quarters of some and half
-yards of others......




 

By then I wasn't looking for yellows any more, and these blues seemed to want a new home.......








 

These ten 1 yard pieces were tied in a bundle at the quilt show, and came to $3 per yard.......










 

And finally an unusual brown fabric that DH pulled from the shelves, along with some grey stone fabric, called Stonehenge.....



Total damage - 38 yards
