Brenda's Big Birthday B

Happy Birthday, Brenda!
Brenda at Scraps and Strings is having a Big Birthday, and she's asking fellow Bloggers to send her a Big B for her Birthday quilt. Happy Birthday fabric seemed in order, so that's what I used for my Big B. I'm toying with the idea of another B but don't know whether I can pull it off. I may give it a try, and if it works, you'll know.
This fabric is for valences for our bathroom windows. I knew the fabric I wanted (I had designed it in my mind), but of course no designer had read my mind. This fabric has the right colors and is cheery, so it will do -- especially as it was on half price sale! It's outdoor fabric and fairly stiff, which got me thinking that it would make a wonderful satchel. I think I should have just about enough fabric left over for that, too.

Beautiful B for Brenda!

Your B is perfect!

So, why don't fabric designers read our minds?? They totally should. Cute fabric, and it will make a great tote.

Great B. Like the Happy Birthday fabric.

I wish they could read our minds. It would make life so much easier. But don't you think it would take away the thrill of fabric shopping?

The birthday quilt is a cool idea! I love the B cat in the post above! I also know what you mean about seeing fabric in your mind that you've created. One of these days I might get up the courage to trying designing my own fabric over at spoonflower.
