I thought for certain I would have the backing pieced for today’s design wall post. But it was not to be and I have no idea what I did instead of quilting this weekend. I have two of the 10 rows pieced and ready to sew together. I changed my plan and instead of finishing each row with 2 5-1/2″ squares, I dug through the ‘scraps’ and found enough fabric to cut a 5-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ rectangle. I think it will look better. I also got a few more “8’s” sewn into “16’s” on my leader/ender Tumblers.
Check out what others are working on over at Patchwork Times.
I didn’t notice your Tumblers were all Shirt Fabrics too until today. Good idea to have less seams on the edges. The week-ends can get away when you’re busy with other things. Life happens.
How I love plaids and stripes, especially when they come from gently-used shirts! It will be interesting to see what this quilt looks like when it’s finished.
