Choosing Fabrics for a Quilt

I am Elva Gentry and I am at Granny Bee's Quilt Shop in Dickson, Tennessee. Granny Bee's is located in Miss Mable's Village at 300 West College Street. Today I am going to be teaching the underground railroad. This book is written by Elenore Burns and Sue Birshard. I will be teaching one block from this book. I am going to be choosing my fabrics to go with this and I need five different color fabrics. We can use fat quarters with this. So, I am going to choose a fat quarter and I need a blue. This is going to be my starter fabric. And I like this blue so I will build some more fabrics on to this. I need two background colors. I have chosen my fabrics here. This is one of the backgrounds, this is the other background. Here's the blue. I need a brown and I need a red. And we will be cutting these blocks, these pieces out and sewing these pieces together.
