Choosing fabrics and patterns

I have joined a local group that works on Quilts of Valor.  I went to a friend's house where the donated fabric lives and helped coordinate groups of fabric for chosen quilt patterns.  I took one of Karla Alexander's books and chose this pattern.
Here is the pile of fabric that I chose for it.  I brought the fabrics home to cut for a future sew-in date.  The next meeting is  Tuesday and some servicemen will be coming to pick up a pile of finished quilts during our work day.

On the way home I stopped at a store and found some flannels on sale for $2 a yard so I picked some up for the preemie project at church. 

Today I have to take my dad to 2 dr. appts.  His blood count has been abnormal since he had pneumonia so he is going to see a Hematologist.  Sometimes I wonder how necessary these check ups are for a 96 year old who feels fine and is getting along well.  I guess I will find out later today.
