It was pretty clear it was coming home with me, but how much? What was I going to do with it? The answer came to me immediately.
It would be great as the backing of this (as yet unnamed) quilt. So I got that too. It wasn't until I got home that I discovered something...
Holy cow! 2007???
I figured, in for a penny, in for a pound, so I looked around for a binding fabric. I liked this one.
Yup, that looks good. So how do the parrots look?
Yeah!
I'm keeping this quilt, so now I am highly motivated to finish this quilt top.

I have that Parrot fabric! Was thinking it would be a good backing also. Guess I better get working on running down my stash! I don't think I've had it since 2007. Probably better off not knowing.
It’s like sunshine on a cloudy day……keeps running though my head when I see this top. And the parrots, wow, couldn’t be a better back for a Lynne quilt, but the binding fabric is amazing! It didn’t seem so in the first picture but next to the quilt top, seriously wonderful.
Going to be a spectacular quilt - the parrots will add so much. What a productive and satisfying shopping trip!
Alexander Henry fabrics were always a gamble for the quilt shops. They were slow movers because only a few people could see their potential. I was always looking for them in my travels back in the day when I was giving programs and workshops for guilds. They are still some of my favorite fabrics and they are timeless.
The backing is terrific for that quilt. The binding is a lot of fun and interest. Hmm, I wonder what else you bought on your trip?
WOW!! So FUN! That green and yellow quilt is lovely already.
When you see a fabric as stunning as this, just get it, LOTS of it, and the border is just right with those colours. Your eyes know a good thing when they see it.
Ok, now I want one, too! Great combo.
