Having finished the quilt top for the flannel quilt and feeling good about it, I decided to let it stay folded until next winter when I can find a better flannel for the back.

So saturday I went out (to Quilted Hearts) and got some of my "dream" fabric, Moda Silk! At $20 a yard it's expensive stuff. I havn't bought any fabric or yarn in months so I allowed myself to get 2 yards at the store, and 2 yards of cream minky for the backing.

The silk is not at all that olive green it looks, it's a pretty light sage with a bit of lime when it shines. The blue is a light aqua. I had to order the white, and then the white in the photo is the minky. It's washable silk :)
