How do you approach a new quilting project? Do you buy the pattern first, then select the fabric at the store or do you shop in your own stash? Or do you have just the perfect fabric in the hope of finding the perfect pattern?
The ladies that signed up for my Sallie's Quilt class all approached the project in about the same manner. They brought in baskets and tubs of fabric from home.
After the five different fabrics were selected for each block, some of the ladies put them in plastic baggies.
I was lusting over Jean's basket of reproduction fabrics!
Ladies, your quilts are going to be fabulous and I can't wait to see them. Thank you all for the two evenings of fun.
Sallie's Quilt pattern, available here: http://www.inbetweenstitches.com/shopping/patterns/page_3.aspx is a great "stash-buster" quilt. The largest piece of fabric you need for the blocks in only 4-1/2". It's a fun block to make and you will become addicted to selecting your fabrics for the blocks.
My quilt is done and now I'm down to the binding....oh my....wish me luck!
As always,
Lynn
