Swapping out the Obnoxious Fabrics

It was time for another round of the Obnoxious Fabric Swap and I finished up swapping them last week. It is a fun swap that I hostess twice a year on the About.com Quilting Forum.

Florals reigned supreme in the obnoxious mix (as they always do). What in the world are some designers thinking when they make some of the weird color combos? Next up were the Amphibian and Lizard category. Lots of brights, a few skulls, some psychedelic designs, weird color combos, texture prints...and some that must have been taking over various stashes around the country :) I saw a couple of fabrics that I would have purchased had I seen them on the bolt...and not for this swap!

The picture is from the center of my living room while I was swapping. I sit in the hole in the middle and swap directly in front of me (see the stack, the spreadsheet and pencil?) and have all of the piles arrayed around me. You can not see all of them as the picture is rectangular and the piles of fabric were a bit farther out on each side (and on the couch and love seat!).

Yes, that is Killer Bunnies on the ottoman. The boybarian has been begging to have a family game night, but we haven't all been home for a game night in weeks!
