VW Quilt

stash--- well, ah, emmmmmmmm, Yeah I have a bit. After all I worked at a fabric store for almost

6 1/2 years. And we got 70% off remnants for most of that time. (And a remnant could be anything that the boss decided was too small to stay on the bolt, or too small to take up the room of a bolt board on the shelf. ) I did buy some for that quilt, but a lot was scraps and actual left overs from sewing projects. I knew there was more than one reason that most of the clothes I make are "shirt weight" cottons (which=quilt weight cottons. )

I also love novelty fabrics. Used to buy a piece just because I "had" to have it. When I was working around the fabrics all the time I didn't buy as much, because I could enjoy it anyway. However, the 2 VW fabrics in that quilt, and a few other fabrics, didn't even make it to the floor. Between a couple of us on staff it got purchased before finding a place on the shelves.

On the other hand, I am short of blenders. Find that I have to buy the stuff that lets the main prints "sing". Which isn't a problem when you bought the original fabric to make clothes. Yes I have an interesting wardrobe, as does my DH, who has been known to select fabrics for his shirts too.

And thank you for the compliment too. Each block sort of "happened" by itself. Then it was a matter of setting them together. Rick likes it, and that was the major point of the whole thing. I did enter it into the local guild show the year I finished it. It didn't win any prizes, nor was I expecting it to. But people still remember it, which I think is a better gauge of a "good" quilt, at least for me.
