I attended a quilt show in Lafayette last week and bought some flannel for donation quilts at 2.00 per yard. I was thinking of the trip around the world quilt I made earlier this year. I didn't take any quilt pictures. oh well
stash report September 17, 2023
fabric added: 7 1/2 yards
fabric added year to date: 130 1/2 yards
fabric used: 24 yards -irish chain is finished
fabric used year to date: 390 yards
259 1/2 yards used more than bought
I sewed 5 days last week.
The rug pattern is called Christmas in new England by Old tattered flag. It is meant to be a tree skirt, but I am changing it to just a circular rug. SO, on dasher and dancer.
I have many shades of dark blue to use for the background.
The reindeer are finished. I started the background in the center of the rug. Once I hook around each reindeer, I can clean up the tails of wool. My finger is much better, but still, doesn't like being bumped.

ReplyDeleteI have never worked with flannel fabric. I am sure it makes a cozy quilt. I like the diamond fabric. Your rug is looking great!
