These are the larger spools built off of 1.5 inch strips. I decided to make this quilt larger...or rather rectangular. This meant another hundred or so spools, which I don't mind. Since I am making this a charm quilt with no duplicates of the same fabric, I get to wallow in fabric. That makes for a lot of happy.
Yesterday was less productive because Molly chose the hot seat (that is, my sewing chair) for her sleeping nook.
I did get the courthouse step blocks sewn together and a border sewn on. And yes, I couldn't resist using the Concord Multi from the 80s. It was everywhere. Hopefully, if you recognized this fabric, you had a good laugh.
Here is Molly counting her plunder at the base of the design wall.
Hopefully Molly will share her wealth. With you, particularly.
ReplyDeleteYep, I had some of that fabric. Or one of its iterations. Made boho purses and finally sent the last of it (home dec weight) to Goodwill about 4 years ago. Glad to see Molly is back to work.
ReplyDeleteYour courthouse steps look great. And it is great to use an older fabric - most courthouses are pretty old, after all.
ReplyDeleteLaughing at Shasta's comment!! :D
ReplyDeleteProgress of any kind is always good, even if delayed by Miss Kitty in your chair. Let sleeping cats lie?
ReplyDeleteI still have some of that fabric. Haven’t laid eyes on it for a while but every time I do I still love it for the amazing fabric it was when I first saw it with “80s eyes”. Love your blog!
