I often find that the promise of buying new things galvanises me into making the items that I last bought new things for. You still with me?! I mean that it was last October that I bought two bags of Liberty fabric scraps at the Knitting and Stitching Show. I cut them out and ‘stored’ them (read forgot them.)Â So with the Festival of Quilts approaching, I feel that now is the time to be seen making use of previous purchases lest my buying possibilities are diminished (read ‘make what you’ve already bought before you buy more’)
I love Liberty fabrics but they are pricey. These were small strips roughly cut up and bagged and sold for £20ish. I’ve been able to get 10 cm squares out of them (just about.) These are my favourite four but I must admit that I feel a little trepident about how this quilt will turn out. It isn’t my usual colour palette and as I’m using the Liberty fabrics, I’ve stuck with what was in the bag so I haven’t had much choice in the matter of what goes next to what.
Anyways it is blissful distraction from what has seemed like long weeks of cleaning and DIY matters, and if this turns out badly then I really will have an excuse to buy new project material!
P.S. Do you like my Kaffe inspired ‘Quilt in the urban landscape’ photo?! LOL
