New Fabrics and Prizes

Last week I won a contest from Tak of Saltbox House Quilter.
Imi makes beautiful lace doilies and not only did I win that, but she sent me some beautiful fabric and a charm pack from Jan Patek's line, plus a pattern, I could use them in. Now that is a package that I loved opening and winning.



I also got down to my local quilt store that has the best prim fabric. I needed some black for my pineapple quilt, so I got two types to try out. When I laid them out, I liked the right side pattern, but looking at the photo, I am leaning towards the bottom.
This will be a border around the design, then additional squares and triangles go around that. What one do you like?

    Very Nice.
    The little design on the 'right '
    fabric fits in with the centre.

    Great package!!!

    I like both fabrics so that's a touch decision. Maybe the fabric at the bottom?

    From the photo the bottom piece looks stunning. However...I do know that up close and personal vs a photo is so different. What is your gut telling you?
