I think I have a little problem
So, I have been thinking for the last few days about starting a new quilt. Digging for fabric in the closet led me to digging out all of the fabric in the closet. But this is not all of the fabric that I have. There is some in the cedar chest of doom, but I knew it wouldn’t go with the fabric I’d already chosen as my inspiration.
First surprise, I found an already assembled top in the Trip Around the World pattern, using the exact yellow fabric which was my inspiration. Obviously, something had drawn me to it.
I kept digging to see what else I could find. Oh kiddies, your Ysha is quite ashamed of herself. I sorted the fabric into non-quilting, cotton and flannel. And like I said before, this isn’t all of it. I know there’s half a bolt of the green dragon flannel left from MY quilt in the cedar chest and the fabrics that I used when starting Boo’s quilt are in a bin.
I spread the flannels out so that I could see what was there. I couldn’t fit it into one photo on wide angle (ok, I was sitting in the floor right next to it, I might could have if I’d backed up). It took three frames and I still may have missed a few. In my defense, I bought most of this several years ago at JoAnn on Black Friday for $1 a yard. But this is still a silly amount of fabric.
I didn’t even spread the cottons out, I just left them in their nice little pile, there’s not nearly as many of those.
This doesn’t even count fat quarters and other such things.
SomeONE (me) needs to get cracking on some baby quilts this year. Even if I never branch out from the Trip Around the World, I need to work some of these up and find homes for them.
