mendocino

i was totally late to the party, but through some very diligent swapping (and some shopping) i was able to collect most of the prints from heather ross' mendocino collection, which is now out of print and very hard to find. i love my mendocino stash, even though it's not the complete collection, i've managed to get all the prints that i really wanted.
they look so pretty together, i just love the colours!
so now i'm dreaming of a mendocino quilt! after seeing this beautiful shot of jeni's stacks of mendocino prints and coordinates, i was inspired to do some stacking myself!
i still have no idea what kind of a quilt i want to make, but right now i'm having a lot of fun playing with fabrics and colours, and rediscovering my stash.
looks like i have plenty of aqua, peach, and gold/yellow fabrics, but not enough browns, hot pinks, and purple.
the first thing i'm going to do after my fabric ban is over in march is to pick up some more browns, fuchsias, and plums. i already have my shopping list ready, lol!
i'm off to enjoy the last day of the long weekend. i'm making lasagna for the first time for dinner, both k and i are very excited!

  1. what a beautiful stash! I have been wanting to make a simple strip quilt with my mendocino to emphasize the mermaids and fish swimming. Such a sweet line! And so soft, too!
