Last night at the guild meeting a woman brought in 4 or 5 tubs of fabric her mother no longer wanted. It was my intent to not bring any home. That did not happen. I brought home a length of muslin since my stash is running low and I brought home this 4 yard length of people in “native” costume. It may become the back of my current quilt.
Yesterday I searched Bonnie’s free patterns and found Scrappy Bargello. It uses 2 1/2″ strips. The size I’m making needs 128 strips and I pulled 128 unique fabrics from my strip bin to make this quilt. I started sewing after I got home from the guild meeting and got this first panel assembled.
This morning I woke up about 5 AM and got up to see if I could see the eclipse. Since I was up I started the second panel.
Of course the boxes of strips got stirred and it doesn’t look like I took anything out — although they do close. My intent is to press the strips and sort them by color. Everything fits better when it is neatly folded.
