Arrghh. I'm supposed to be making garments (well I did just make two) but now I have quilts crowding my brain and project list.
-Mama's one is all ready to quilt
-I've just remembered I have another quilt top done and stored- and there is now a good home for that.
-I've also now refined what I mean to do for my own next quilt. This one has been brewing in the back of my head for quite some time. It's now jelled after being handed a bunch of slightly ex business shirts.... What a great source of fabric!!! The good ones are really beautiful quality cotton and tend to get retired when the collar and cuffs are a bit shabby. The rest of the shirt is generally just fine. I think this little selection will make a truly lovely cool summer quilt. Now I'm pondering the acceptability of asking my better dressed colleagues for their old shirts. It'd be great! but I don't think that would be seen to be quite the thing, bother. Oh- and my other thought is that after a fitted sheet wears out- the remaining top sheet would make excellent quilt backing.
So I have two to quilt and one ready to go when I next get taken by the urge to sew little bits of fabric together.
Development of the second two projects results partly from needing to kill time while the drill battery recharges for yet another project.
