I chose cute whimsical Halloween fabrics that I pick-up in Salem, Ma last year at the Marketplace Quilt Shop.

I'm not sure what fabrics I'll be using. It's a toss between some Kansas Troubles that I have or else trying to mix some reds and greens for a Christmas project.

I'm using Thistledown for this project - it was fabric I purchased this summer - it will be a bright/summery table topper for me. I've promised myself not to buy any more fabric this year, so I'm being good and sticking with that plan (at least for now! LOL!)
