I just can not make up my mind today about what fabric to use for a new project.
We are getting ready to go on vacation where i obviously will not have my machine to sew with but there is some down time and plenty of car time so i thought maybe hand sewing would be the answer.
Erin at Why Not Sew recently hand a hand sewing sampler series!!! I knew this was the one for me. It has been calling me.
But what fabric do i choose? I auditioned several sets for my husband(he is very indulgent) and he was leaning mostly to the primary colors...not the lavender or greens. Me...I am still not sure.
However i have these gorgeous bundles of FMF that are just sitting waiting to be used for something amazing. Is this it? Is this that amazing thing?
What do you think? Do i go for it and use the coveted, most beautiful fabrics? Will i regret it when i find something else i wish i did with them or do i just do it and know that i will love how this sampler is going to turn out(Erin used the FMF so i already have a preview)?
What to do!!! What to do???
In the meantime....here is something pretty that came in my mail. Don't you love fabric mail? I saw these Coquette charm packs on sale and scooped up a couple. It is very girly fabric...and i love the lavender in it. Who knows what is in store for these.

I'd say close your eyes, pick one, and see what happens!
the greens called out to me... but then I seem to be on a green kick lately! I love the FMF too though...
I'm a big fan of green, so that's where I would go! But that FMF has a very homey feel that I think would pair so well with a hand pieced project.
I did the same sampler, I've got as far as sashing now and just need to mark a quilting design. I also had a hard time choosing fabric! I definitely like FMF for this, it's kind of got that old fashioned, but still thoroughly modern feeling, that works so well with the traditional blocks!
I would do whatever you love. A quilt that is hand pieced is a labor of love and pretty spectacular. You might as well use something you really love, since it takes a long time.
Green or FMF would be my choice. What jlk said makes a lot of sense. =)
Yep use those coveted fabrics. You love them, they will look fabulous!!! And seriously they are really great fabrics, so use 'em :) Make the world a more beautiful place with them
O this is a tough one! Let us know which you decide on... I say pick something you will enjoy working with on the road and will remind you of this trip!
