New Fabric for a New Quilt

Look at this incredible fabric:

"Space" by Avlyn Inc.

 Isn't it gorgeous? It's exactly what I wanted for a background for a quilt for my daughter. I've collected some orange fabric (her favourite colour) and will combine it with purple to make the stars in the Dreamweaver Quilt from the Craftsy Quick Strip Paper Piecing Class that I've enrolled in. And this fabric will be the background for the stars. I can hardly wait to get started. I bought it at my local quilt shop and, as I said, it was just what I was looking for - a great "environment" to put stars in. 
By the way, here are the newest classes launching tomorrow on Craftsy:

Sandra Betzina - Sewing on the Bias (Sewing)

Janet Pray - Sew Better, Sew Faster: Garment Industry Secrets (Sewing)

Frieda Anderson - Machine Quilting the Home Sweet Home Quilt (Quilting)

Maggie Austin - Sugar Berries, Leaves, and Blossoms (Cake Decorating)  

I have to admit these classes sound tempting, especially the sewing ones. I think I've enrolled in enough quilting ones for now, but once I get this "quilting bug" under control, I wouldn't mind refreshing and updating my sewing skills as well. I have bought several vintage patterns that I'd like to use. But, I'll be frank: if I'm going to go to the work of sewing my own clothing, I want to wait until I'm down to the size I want to be.

You'll be seeing more of my Dreamweaver quilt in future posts.
