Psst... it's just a week away.

Throwback Thursday {Volume 8} is just one week away - Thursday, March 3rd!
Once again, it'll be your chance to link up a project from your dark, quilty past. Here's a little TBT inspiration for you - a New York Beauty wall hanging that I made back in the Summer of 2005. These pics are a testament to outdoor photo shoots. They're among the best I have from this era! Mind you, flopping it on the ground might not have been my finest hour of quilt styling.
Can you believe these colours? I can't say that I have much like this in my stash anymore. But that navy is a solid, so some things don't change!
Every time I take a good look at one of these TBT quilts, I get to thinking about how much fun it would be to re-make it in modern prints and colours. Can you envision a New York Beauty in Carolyn Friedlander or Cotton + Steel? I can!
 I even FMQed the name of the quilt (and it's recipients) into the binding. How's that for dedication?
And if showing off your past projects wasn't enough, we've got a giveaway from a new sponsor, Dinky Doo Modern Fabrics. If you're into modern pre-cuts, you've got to check them out!

See you next Thursday!

    This is so beautiful. I just printed out a pattern for a NYB block. I figure I can make one block to see how it goes.

    And I still flop quilts on the ground for their photo opportunities!

    Hi! This is great but colours are also not mine. Should we remember that early days our stash was poor and at least I used what ever fabrics found from home. I can't by good fabrics from here. We learn many things with quilting, like photographing. x Teje

    I still flop things on the ground! Some of us haven't learned much since 2005! :)
    I wait for a dry, sunny day so the quilt doesn't get muddy. We have lots of dry, sunny days.
