For Patti

This is for Patti!

 This is the pattern I fell in love with.  Enough so that I started pulling fabric from my stash.  It's called Snapshot and was designed by Gudrun Erla.  The quilt was in the Fall 2012 issue of Easy Quilts.
As I'm pulling the stash fabrics, I'm feeling odd.  Some of these fabrics have lived with me for a long time.  I'm equating it to my Retirement fund.  I have been buying/collecting fabric for some time (20 years) for my retirement.  I'm not retired yet, but I won't be penalized for early withdrawal.  After saving for so many years, it's odd to switch the mindset to use it mode.  But I am!  It's just as fun as saving/collecting mode!

What a great way to reframe using your fabric! Pretty pattern. I can hardly wait to see your version.
