Candy.

Sisboombelts1_2
Now, this is fun fabric! We've been busy putting together a slew of belts for Jennifer to take to quilt market in Portland... I've got to show you how many zillions of combinations there are to be put together in the Bell Bottoms line. I was drunk on the color ... had it been candy I would have eaten it all.

Cutting and arranging pieces was a party. A red pattern next to an orange pattern, yellow next to blue, florals next to dots. No matter what I did it looked great.

And I have to tell you, I was stumped on where to put the red pieces.

There were two patterns that were red and white... and for whatever reason, I'm just not usually attracted to reds... But right there next to the orange and pink... Voila.

Just right if I may say so myself. I'm so glad I didn't try to go with the red, white and blue theme that I momentarily (don't laugh... it was only a passing thought) thought I might.

BTW, a certain little girl (that would be older daughter) is head over heels in love with this fabric. And actually, that's my next project for today... give older daughter some fabric to play with. It's going to be very difficult to part with.
