I love your photos of fabric and blocks in progress. It's always fun to what fabrics another quilter has and what she does with them.kiquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05901678330639204682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-90947609660924018602015-03-06T20:32:16.008-06:002015-03-06T20:32:16.008-06:00All of your quilts are so beautiful!

In fact, every single one of my quilts has another quilt that uses at least one of it's fabrics. They are all related that way!Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-57784213796125131662015-03-04T05:27:51.116-06:002015-03-04T05:27:51.116-06:00Every few years (and this is one of them) I get th...Every few years (and this is one of them) I get the itch to use up old scraps and make a quilt. I'm currently sewing 100 8-point stars. Some of the novelty fabrics I've been give or bought are being tossed, and I'm also throwing out the JUNK. My boxes and baskets of fabric are being straightened, and I'll have a new quilt top to boot.<br /><br />Your mini quilts have inspired me to change directions with my fabric purchases. My next step is to use some of my new fabric to sew some minis. I can only use so many wall hangings, table runners and bed quilts.Mary @ Neat and Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160435782347545564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-59278011723440043762015-03-03T19:20:55.431-06:002015-03-03T19:20:55.431-06:00I feel exactly as you do about old fabrics in my c...I feel exactly as you do about old fabrics in my collection.

I love seeing your blocks and fabrics spread out for show and tell. You always use a variety of fabrics along with your favorite "blues".
