I used around 36 different fabrics. I will say that when it was up on the design wall the fabric looked a bit more mixed up, but as long as 2 of the same fabrics didn't end up next to each other I'm okay with that. I think I'll finish it off with a scrappy yellow binding. Which now that I think about it I should have cut strips when I still had all the fabrics out in a heap on the floor. I knew there was a reason I shouldn't clean up. See neatness doesn't always help - LOL!
And I got my T blocks sewn up for this month's Schnibble, Bibelot. Thelma at Cupcakes and Daisies has been lobbying to have the name of this pattern changed to "T stands for Thelma" I like that idea.
I still need to add the sashing and borders. I'm only doing 25 blocks since I just want a little topper. I stitched mine up from my stash of novelty fabrics and it has a theme. Can you figure it out?
Okay its back to the real world. Youngest son has classes and his volunteer job today so I'll be driving a bit. Have you seen the price of gas? $3.99/gal here in Ohio, it is crazy. And it makes me feel old because I remember gas for .25/gal when I first got my drivers license at 16. Yes, there were dinosaurs grazing next to the pumps - LOL!
Happy stitching-
carol fun
Bibelot looks cute! I used halloween fabric for mine; just need to finish up. Our gas is 'only' $3.79! Cheaper in the big city $3.66, but the car was full when we were there yesterday!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty yellows! I agree, cleaning up can be unhelpful in the middle of a project :)
ReplyDeleteLove your themed T...I see trains, tools, tigers, and turkeys? or Thanksgiving. Cute!
Gas here is at least $4.30. We Californians always have to be at the top.
WOW! Great star, yellow is my favorite color. Your Schnibble is looking good,too.
ReplyDelete"T" is for tomorrow?

Hugs,Di and miss gracie
Love your made in cherry, like a big sunny star :)
ReplyDeleteThe novelty fabrics are such fun. Once I cleaned up after a quilt to was finished -- donated leftover fabrics to a friend to make charity quilts. Turns out in my neatness I also donated the fabric meant for the binding. So no, neatness isn't always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects and too funny about the grazing dinosaurs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful star quilt! I love the different yellow print fabrics that make it up. Don't feel bad about the gas prices. $3.99 is awesome compared to our $4.50 a gallon. I hope it goes down soon!
ReplyDeleteYour T is for ..... is a cute idea. I really like yours. You can't be too old, because I remember when gas was .25/gallon too. Wasn't that last year??? :)And those were not dinasours - just big dogs.
