Pink quilt, happy mail, new hard hats
I didn't get much done on the pink quilt; I had a busy evening once I got home after my appointment.  I am almost to the corner.  I ran a little short on the striped binding so I just added a piece of another pink fabric.  Yes, the back is a bit more lavender, but I got a bolt at a great price.  It looks a bit more lavender in the picture than in person. 
I received two packages yesterday of fabric.  This fabric was from Handcock's of Paducah.  Most of it was on sale and I got another 20% off my entire order plus free shipping.  There were a couple pieces that I ordered, but went out of stock which is not the end of the world.  
I did not order that dark gray fabric.  The color is Pepper.  I had ordered some Robert Kauffman Fusions Spray in Pepper.  Someone just cut me the wrong pepper.  LOL!!  I called Handcock's this morning and they are going to send me the right fabric.  
The other package was from a shop I just found - Two Bees Fabric in Richardson, Texas.  I was on a search for the Andover Jewelbox in gray.  The online shop is very nice and they have lots of reproduction fabrics which is what I was looking for. I will be buying from them in the future!  Right now I am in the mode to remake the bunkhouse quilts that I saw in the Yellowstone series and also the quilt Beth Dutton wrapped up in.  I sure wish I could find enough vintage fabric, but what I have found is very pricy so reproduction fabric will have to due.  I had ordered the Fusions Pepper before I found the Jewelbox.
I will have plenty of fabric to play with and plan on over the time I take off from work to get a start on my Yellowstone bunkhouse quilts.  I need to dig thru my vintage fabric to see if I have fabrics that can add to the mix.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a line of Bunkhouse inspired come out from one of the manufacturers.
Lavender looks nice with pink so it was a good choice, as well as the price being great.
I have never watched Yellowstone so I'm curious about your future projects.
