A Joyful Soul Fabrics

This is the most wonderful thing I've ever found on ebay - pre-cut fabric for quilting! And not just nana fabric either, but neat stuff, like Amy Butler and Heather Bailey. Joy sends her fabric out beautifully packaged and tied with a ribbon, and the pieces are all cut perfectly. I bought the entire Amy Butler "Daisy Chain" line in 2.5" strips and in 5" squares, and honestly to have cut all those out myself would have cost me many hours, sore hands, and I'd have enough money in my swear jar to clear the national debt.

Instead, I've been able to get on with what quilters want to get on with - quilting! Well, patchworking so far, this one's humungous and I'll probably send it away to be professionally quilted by a long-arm machine rather than attempt do it myself with poor little Jenny Janome. The border will be from Amy Butler's 'Nigella' line, more of those grey pieces you see sitting sideways in the middle of the strippy blocks there, and the reverse will also be from that Nigella line, though a different colourway. That fabric is decor weight, so heavier, and I thought that'd make it more durable to have it bound on the outside with a border of that, and to have it on the reverse too.

I have a thread on tPF that I'm updating as I go with this one - right now I'm about to start piecing those long pieces together of square lines and strippy lines, and then I can start organising the back and the border!
