The quilt on our bed is wearing out. I can't believe it, but the fabric is shredding, though I bought it at a quilt shop and thought it was good quality. :( Those of you who have seen what I normally do know that I don't usually do large quilts, but I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it. That's the bad news. ;)
The good news is that I've wanted to do a Winding Ways quilt for some time, so now I'm going to use that pattern for our new bed quilt. I had a gift certificate to the LQS for Christmas, and it paid for not quite half of what I needed when I went on my S.E.Xpedition today. Talk about sticker shock! I'm not used to buying so much fabric for a quilt! LOL!
Anyway, I can't wash and press the fabrics yet, since the dryer is broken; I'm hoping for the final part of the repair to take place on Sunday (repairman's choice, not mine, since he has Monday's off) so we can get back to normal -- I have two loads of sheets waiting to be dried right now. :S
I surprised myself when I bought the fabrics today, though; I never thought I'd end up with the colors I finally chose. I've posted a picture of them (beautiful Modas, with the exception of one of the light fabrics) on my brand new blog. The URL is in my signature, though there's also a link to the blog on my regular site.
