Love Entwined a beginning

This week I was finally able to begin stitching on Love Entwined. While in Texas I bought the last of the fabrics for this project and came home and pulled a selection from my stash. I am still not sure if I will use the yellow but I will let the quilt speak to me as I go. Here is my center compass. I had some difficulty with the fabric selection and made a change as I was going but after appliquéing all those tiny circles around the edge, I certainly will not be making another.




Here are a few pictures of my fabric selection for this project.








Since this is a reproduction of a quilt from the 1790's, i decided to go with a reproduction look and am using lots of Dutch Chintz fabrics, French General fabrics and others from my stash. Part 2 will be released on July 15 but with my son arriving about then for a few weeks, I am afraid I may not be able to keep up but I am hoping to find some time to get things prepped for stitching before his arrival. I can't wait!

Happy stitching!
