Vintage Yardage

I thought you might want to see some vintage fabric yardage.

I found these long forgotten pieces of fabric yesterday while looking for something else in the sewing room. There is at least three yards of each.

I love that they are all the old narrow width- and just look at that lovely selvedge. Sigh.

Summer has arrived but I still don't spend much time outside because of the mosquitoes. I am eagerly awaiting the day they blow away.

In the mean time I am trying to be productive with my time in the house. I have decided that one of my summer projects will be to finish as many unfinished projects in the sewing room as I can. You know, cleaning up the slow way. I am determined to get some of these piles cleared up.I am on my way with these star blocks that I made today. That is all I need to finish a queen size quilt that I started at Beaver Island Quilt Retreat in 2004!!

If I hadn't put four of the blocks in this quilt and mailed it away I would have only needed to make three more blocks. Three. That was all I needed to finish a queen size quilt.

That is what I get for not finishing it at the time. I have had the unfinished top and fabrics to finish it in a pile for almost SIX YEARS.

Yes, its time has come.

Is anyone else up for a summer of Project UFO? Let's get those projects finished!!
