Shot Cottons

This selection of Kaffe Fassett shot cottons arrived in the post today:

Colours look better in real life! It is a kit sold by Craftsy to make a quilt for their "Continuous Line Quilting" class. I was intending to just use fabric I had, but then they marked the kit down by 60% a couple of weeks ago. That was a bit irresistible! The postage was a bit steep, but even so it was a pretty good deal. Sixteen different fat quarters (US size), 2.75 yds (2.5m) for backing, and .5yd (45cm) for binding, making a total of 7.25 yards or 6.6m of these lovely fabrics. The shot-ness (different colours depending on how the light hits it) should really come to life when they are quilted.
