opposites attract

Yesterday I showed you my Blogger Bundle that I put together for Pink Castle Fabrics.

Now, I usually favour posies & tickings & wee checks & hearts ...

So I decided to see just how well all this geometry would get along with my stash ...

Sha-ZAM! 

Like they were made for each other.

Like Fred & Ginger.  Bogart & Bacall.  William & Kate.

I paired up each fabric from my Blogger Bundle with something from my stash of similar color & value. 

(Like I ever need an excuse to play with fabric.)

"And the heavens opened and the angels sang ..."

And then I got out my rotary cutter and loaded up a bunch of bobbins.

You won't believe it: after your sweet email yesterday (thanks again) I've ordered some sweet fabrics from sewandquilt (in UK) exactly 12 FQs my very own bundle if you will;-) Thought I need some more sweetness to play along (like I need an excuse to order more fabric and play with it;-) Sisters in mind, right?
