Psst! Meet Me at Midnight in the Secret Garden of Paris

I'm sure you've heard of Laura's Blogger's Choice Fat Quarter Bundle Challenge? You select 12 prints and 3 solids for the chance of winning a half yard of each of your selections. I'm just squeaking in under the wire here mostly because this was more of a challenge for me than I'd first thought.

I've never shopped online for fabric before (gasp!) so I spent hours checking out Fat Quarter Shop's selection -- wow, they got a lot of fabric, y'all! And I struggled trying to get a palette. Once I found the palette I wanted though, then I had to figure out how to make a collage because I haven't done one of those either. After trying a few different online options without success, I downloaded Picasa. Success!

So I give you The Secret Garden of Paris Bundle. Think cafés, the Seine, intrigue, Notre Dame Cathedral, beautiful stone architecture, secret passageways, Père Lachaise cemetery, fabulous decor, the ballrooms at Versailles. Yeah, I don't think I'm winning either, but it was sure fun (mostly) trying! :) Thanks for a great challenge, Laura and Fat Quarter Shop!
