I had to make a trip to the comic book store for some backer boards to put all this new fabric into the existing stash. I won't tell you how many of the hundred or so backer boards I used.......yes, I still have some left over, thank you.
So to use up some of the fabric, I hit upon a great idea. I have some orphan blocks that needed a home. So I put together two quilts and used up 10 orphans and another one using a kit from the fabric haul.
Here is the flannel quilt on the frame.
I just quilted a quick meander so I was able to finish two quilts totally (even to the binding all done). And one that I need to put on the frame tomorrow.
This one is a set of strings that languished in the quilt room for several years. they are made on a base of the old curtains from my bedroom.
I think I changed those curtains out maybe 15 years ago..... ....
The block in this one is the center. I was part of the second or third 100 Blocks Magazine with this block. The first round is the dark blue. I just grabbed any fabrics and put them together, round after round.
I wonder why they call them rounds when they are obviously square............
Nice job using up those odds and ends!
