My care quilt group meets about every 6 months for a 2 day gathering, in driving distance from everyone's home, so we all sleep in our own beds.
I have started cutting and sewing another top like this, from my own fabrics, with fewer blocks - 7 by 9, instead of 8 by 10.
I am shaking my head about the fact that I must have had like 5 yards of the pinkish red fabric, French General.
Note to self - do not buy so much for future might-want-to-do projects.
Well - I think I bought all these French General fabrics in USA, where fabric prices still are much lower than here.
I do remember I loved that fabric, so it is a good thing to use fabrics when they are fresh off the bolt, and not saving it for the future.
Taste changes over time, right?
More about that in another post shortly.
Wishing you a wonderful day where you are 💖

I have some of the same red that you have in that hexie - lots of French General has been put in my quilts in recent years
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely compassion quilt, it will be loved. I also purchase a large amount of a fabric if I like it. Sometimes I wonder why I bought so much and sometimes I wish I had purchased the whole bolt! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYour finished top is very pretty, someone will love those 'old' fabrics once they are wrapped up and warm inside them.
ReplyDeleteGreat Care quilt top and I do love your stitchery projects. xx
