I planned to use only my stash for Bonnie Hunter's new mystery. You know where this is going already, right? Well I didn't have enough orange, or rather, I had enough orange but not enough variety in orange for a scrap quilt. So I went by an LQS and solved that problem. A couple of the pieces are from April Rosenthal's new line BEST.DAY.EVER! I like the bright colors in this line of fabric.
I'm thinking about maybe making a quilt for a little girl out of this line because my brother and his partner may be adopting again! The child they adopted last year has a brother and half sister who are coming up for adoption, and the agency asked if they would be interested in the other two kids. Nothing is set in stone yet, and we'll know more in January. But if they do adopt, both kids will need welcome to the family quilts!

We are out of town, so I have no new quilt pictures to share, but I try to post a new pictures with every post, so here's my first amaryllis to bloom. It is super short, just about 12 inches tall. I've never had good luck with amaryllis bulbs, so I'm happy to see it bloom.

I feel your pain with the mystery quilt. I've had to pick up a couple of fat quarters to supplement what I already had, but mostly I've been able to work from scraps. Best of luck to your brother with the adoption! I'm sure you're all excited about the possibility of adding more to the family!
How exciting for your brother and his family. Perfect excuse to purchase fabric to make a new quilt.
That is so wonderful for your brother Laura! I hope and pray it all works out Perfectly for them! Yes, those children will certainly need welcome quilts. And orange is such a cheering and lovely color. Can't wait to see your progress on the mystery quilt!
