I made the flimsy way back in 2020 when I had the notion that I could reduce the Civil War stash. (All posts for that project are labeled CWRSRP. It is a longterm goal. <g>)
Baptist Fan for the center and border, with circles in the inner border.
The back is nearly vintage. It was an 8-yard piece that I got at an estate sale about 15 years ago. I have 3-1/2 yards left.
Look what I got! All of these are 36" wide. The citrus tropical floral is delicious.
These are 45" wide.
Do you recognize the logo on the 1997 remnant tag? That's So-Fro Fabrics.
Total 15-3/4 yards for $12.25. That's .77 per yard.
The new acquisitions are ready to join the stash.
I have used bandanas for precisely TWO projects in 2016 and 2022. Time to quit hoarding and start designing.
Linking up with Finished or Not Friday
ooh i do like that backing....very nice and blue...so how is it coming using up the civil war stash???? inquiring minds want to know....LOL
ReplyDeleteYou always have fun ideas for the different collections you have in your stash, Nann! I enjoy seeing what you make with them. The basket quilt is a beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteI like your basket quilt. That is a great setting with the checkerboard blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe basket blocks look great with the checkerboard blocks. The paisley bandanas are a fun addition to your stash!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while to figure out that the boots are made of bandanas - very clever! I too have a predilection for bandanas but I just use them as hankies. Must consider branching out!

I like the combination of the basket and checkerboard blocks, it looks really nice. Great additions to your stash.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be interesting to see what you end up doing with all those bandanas. And more stash acquisition too!! My goodness, but you must have a really large storage space.
ReplyDeleteYou do so well with the thrifty stash additions. Congrats on the new finish. Enjoy the weekend walking and stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love your bandana projects!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of citrusy fabrics and that orange one is particularly juicy. The bandana baskets are adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou get sooo much done. I'm always impressed. I think it would be fun to collect bandanas to make a project. I think I have a turquoise one....? I might need to hit the thrift shops for a bit. Or, maybe I should just use the fabric I have!
