I was in need of border fabrics for my blue skies quilt. I checked hobby lobby and was unimpressed with my choices in yellow and blue. It is a string quilt, so my next choice was thrift shirts. Some thrift stores here are very pricey. But I found these that were just right. I don't count shirt fabric in my yardage totals since I haven't bought any in a very long time, but I am away from home. I don't really want to do the math to add it now.

I have added 7 yards more than I used.
I sewed 4 days last week.
I have decided to work on my older ufo applique project - across the wide missourri- again, as we will be spending quality car time, on vacation.
I finished the last block, so it's time to begin block 8. I traced the pieces on freezer paper and cut them out.

That blue checked shirt will make a fun border with that yellow one. You did a bit of everything last week. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteYour string blocks will look fabulous with borders made with these pretty shirts. I love the blue one. The appliquéd house is going to be lovely too. Great progress on the rug's sky. Thank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up!
ReplyDeleteYour rug is coming along. So cute!
