WASHING FABRICS, SORTING, FINDING SURPRISES

 

This is a quilt i started years ago, left it to find a border....well on my table of fabrics to be washed and put away i am finding quilts mixed in with them ...this is one of them....on top of it is what i think i will use as a border for the quilt....hard to tell but the pattern is courthouse steps and the blocks are a mix of the colors shown I call it Jungle quilt....before i get back to that i am trying to get all the fabrics washed up and put in my cabinet....the years i wasn't sewing i kept buying fabric and tossing it on the table....now i am back to sewing again and need the table ...this has been what i have been doing lately washing fabrics....

I did do a Christmas swap in the quilt group i belong to and finished that...My son will mail it out for me next Tuesday....my leg and back problem keep me from climbing steps....

Baby shower coming up  and i have to figure out which 2 baby quilts i will send....got 3 pieces of flannel for  receiving blankets to make and i have cut out 2 lap or burp pads to quilt....also have  a Christmas table topper to quilt and a couple other things waiting to be done.... now if my health will co-operate i will be happy...

I work very slow now so i get aggravated at myself for not getting as much done as i think i should......more later.

WIP- FAN QUILT MIGHT GET FINISHED THIS TIME

I have been having back trouble again but did manage to sort through some things in the sewing room....Among the things I found was fabric like my daughters fan quilt...I was lacking the bottom part of the fan but now can make her quilt bigger....she will be happy about that....It will be a bigger bed size now...not sure on border yet...

I was lacking 15 blocks of making it bed size but had the blocks started then I thought ran out of the fabric...so over the weekend I started finishing the blocks so it can be put together...

On Saturday I

received my order for back material and my granddaughters purple  fabric for the border on her flower garden quilt....I am set now for a lot of quilts so I am going to try not to order more fabric for quite awhile....

I worked out my sons scrap quilt...its a vertically brick put together diagonally....confused???....I will take pictures of it when I get the border on....have to make 47 more brick blocks to do that...more cutting for variety in the scrap....

Errands to do today so need to get another cup of coffee and get dressed and get out of here for a bit...2 stores to go to for groceries hope I don't irritate my back again.....more later....
