Red & Aqua. . .
Aren't they such happy colors?
Aren't they such happy colors?
Ever since I joined Jane's 2009 Disappearing Nine-Patch Swap I've been buying more fabric to add to my meager collection of AQUA Fabric. Of course, I couldn't help buying more RED fabric while I was at it!!! LOL! It's been so much fun looking, shopping, and buying fabric. I think I've been to at least seven different quilt shops. It's interesting but there really isn't as much Aqua fabric in the stores as I thought there would be.
I have all of my fabric cut and now I'm working on sewing them back together again.
I have six blocks done and 19 more to go. I should be able to make the November 2nd deadline. Easy Peasy!!! Come join the fun if you're so inclined. I think my DD Kenna's going to want this quilt when she sees it done.

I see some of your fabric will be matching my fabric! I'm just now cutting my squares. It will be fun to see the results when they are all swapped out!
Oh my! I sure wish I could join in on this swap, the colors are FABULOUS!
I'm glad I got to be there when you purchased a few of those. And I hope I get to be the recipient of some of your blocks in the trade.
What wonderful fabrics...that is just going to be the MOST happy quilt!
Ooooh, this looks like GREAT fun! I LOVE those colors together!!!
I love the aqua and red together!! Beautiful!!! Nothing more fun than shopping for fabric!
Funny you should mention aqua fabric. I'm a member of a new blog "A Dozen Quilters" and first swap is making aqua and red blocks! Yes, your right I was surprised to learn that there aren't many aqua choices. Happy quilting.
The fabrics you picked are just beautiful! I can't wait to see it come together.
Ahh, you tempt me with your gorgeous fabric and your promises of a fun swap!
Oh I love your fabric picks, gee it was a shame you "had" to go to so many quilt shops!!!
Your aquas and reds are beautiful! I had no luck at my local quilt shop but ordered from fabric.com so I'm anxious to receive my package and examine the fabrics. I've had good luck with them in the past.
This will be a fun swap!

What fabulous fabrics. Makes me think of warm and cool, hot and cold, molten lava and ocean breezes. Can't wait to see your creation.
What a bright and happy color combination!
Great fabrics. I mailed my blocks off today. They were such fun to do.
Great pile of red and aqua fabrics. I've been loving the red and aqua combo every since Camille started making the cutest quilts with these colors. Have fun making your blocks.
Loving your fabrics bloggin friend.
;o)
Looks like you have a nice start to this swap. I was going to join, but I'm not sure I would have the time to complete it. However, I may just make my own D9P quilt in red/aqua on my own.
Very cute!
Everybody's gonna want that quilt when they see it done!!!!
Everything you do is perfection and I have no doubt this will be the same.
Show ua as soon as you can!

i was shocked when i started shopping for my fabrics for the swap and realized that the aqua selections was minimal. i had such a hard time finding aqua that i just loved...but i prevailed...finally...
and your fabrics are great...can't wait to see the blocks!!
Love your fabrics. Have fun with this swap!!

Oh my goodness, these colors go SO well together!! And those red dots on the aqua make the colors "just go" together. Kim, you just never cease to impress me with your wonderful creations.
Love that color combo -- what a fun swap too! Have fun!
I adore those colors together! Gorgeous selections :)
Love your fabrics!! Who knew aqua and red went so well together. I get Kenna will love this when it's done. So cute. Jenn
What a great color combo! So fun and fresh!
i love the collection you have put together!! i thought about joining this swap but i just know i don't have the time right now!
Great fabrics! (You're right - aquas are a lot harder to find than you'd think they would be.) I can't wait to see the outcome. It's going to be adorable.
I would have never thought of putting these two colors together. I love them. I am going to start collecting aqua fabric.
Oh i LOVE your red and aqua together! That will be a beautiful quilt! Never would have put those two colors together but they look awesome!
They are beautiful together! This will be a fantastic quilt when it's finished.
Love it!!! We are working on a red & aqua quilt for the shop. Can't wait to see yours.
