Yay Day 1 has been wonderful

So, I must say this has been a pretty fantastic day!

I went and found a few more pieces of fabric for the quilt along with Ivory Springs. As soon as I saw the quilt, I knew I wanted to use black and whites with pop of red! So here is what I am working with right now:
black and whites, and the red for the ladybugs
I managed to get the 30 4 1/2" squares cut out, and the 60 2 1/2" squares cut out. Tomorrow will be marking the 2 1/2" squares and maybe some sewing. 

Most of the fabrics are just black and white, except for one, which I am thinking will make an amazing border. Here is a close up of that one, it has a bit of red in it. Sorry the picture is not that great though:
I like that the centers of the flowers are red :)
and well this was just fitting for this project as well, I could not resist!
these ladybugs were just too cute to pass up!

So, tomorrow my goal will be to mark the 2 1/2" squares, or at least some of them! It will be a busy day tomorrow with errands in the morning, and first Quilt Guild Meeting in the evening!! I am looking forward to tomorrow evening and seeing all of my fellow quilting friends that I have not seen since June!!

Talk to you all tomorrow for Day 2!!

i'm using black and whites at least for the center. not sure what i'll do for the outer squares. have a black with colorful dots and small circles on it for the inside border...just have to see, but i like the idea of black and white for all or most of it, too.
