Somehow, in the midst of all the visits and celebrations of the past week, I've managed to get a good start on my "Haberdashery" quilt that I mentioned in my last post. Everything except the red sashing fabric is made from re-purposed men's clothes. Each block is made using 4 different ties, and the grey & cream diagonals are made from men's trousers. Even the cornerstones are fussy-cut from a shirt. The blocks are all foundation pieced using a pattern called Eagle's Wings by Laundry Basket Quilts only I've added sashing and cornerstones to mine. Now I just have to remove all the paper from the back of the blocks - ugggg..... then decide on a border fabric...
Beautiful quilt top, Kathy! I don't envy you the job of removing all that paper though...ugh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic pattern to use for those particular repurposed fabrics. It is very beautiful. I have that pattern but would not have thought of using it that way. Wonderful idea and great quilt, Kathy!
