Fabric Cache
I was fortunate enough to receive a basket of fabric from an aquaintance last summer (we did not become friends...long complicated story, not to be revealed here). Most were not something that I would want personally, but I planned to share with others. But, I ended up not giving most of it away like I planned, I have instead, felt obligated to create quilts from the stash to give to others. I would rather see a completed quilt go to someone than bits of fabric just go into someone else's stash for who knows how long.
So I sew, for someone else, I don't know who yet, but my own projects wait for me to fill this need.
So far three have been made and in different stages of completion, all are traditional;
a quilt has been made from the plaids I found,
a blue hued quilt made from an online mystery quilt (it wasn't a mystery when I started, I already knew the pattern, but enjoyed following the direction),
and now a nine patch that is predomantly green and brown. It has grown, but I started with 20 six inch exchange blocks from my guild.
I must have enough for two or three more left in the cache.
The traditional patterns are fun to make because sometimes I just need to sew stuff together and not analyse the design too much. Rotary cut ... zip ... sew ... zip ... think ... think ... meditate ... create.
