WIP & Shopping Again!





Ok I have finally finished the Stack and Wack Top. It was too early in the morning when I was talking the pics to get the kids to hold it out so for the moment you only get a teaser shot. :)

And shopping again, all completely legal under my DP & self imposed buying ban. :P All for the Noah & Friends quilt.
The first picture is of the background, borders and sashing fabrics. The white is going to be the block backgrounds, the checkered fabric is going to be the sashings between each block (which is light stripes in the pattern). The butter yellow is the curved bit that goes on top of the dark stripes, which the dark pink is instead of. The rabbits is the outer border. None of this probably makes ANY sense but you will see :)
Second pic is of the fabrics needed for the Zebra block.
Third pic is of the fabrics needed for the lion block.
Fourth pic is just cause they look sooo pretty stacked up :P
Now you are probably thinking there is alot of fabric there for one little quilt, but my sister found out she is pregnant with no.2 so I will be making this Noah & Friends quilt by the double!
I still have to get the fabric for 7 more blocks, but I am hoping to get a fair bit completed on the weekend so I have an excuse to get some more :)

I love the pics of your fabric stack, such pretty fresh colours. I can't wait to see your Noah quilt, I've seen a picture of the pattern and it's stunning!
