After weeeeks of quilting and general family busy-ness it was time to have a sewing day! Yeah :)
One thing that hasn't been shared on my blog, is my fondness for "retro" fabrics....there is a "small" collection of fabrics from the sixties and seventies taking up space in my cupboard, so today I decided it was time to have some fun with them! Firstly some strips were cut, with scissors, improv style to make this little cute thing...Check out these lovely little prints....I really love the green....
And what about this lovely lime rose...
It was fun combining all these different scale prints....
The size of the top is about 40", not sure what border will be put on, but I am thinking about lots of the lights at the moment...I had a bag of "dull" homespuns I was going to send to the second shop, but they found their way into this project...
Did you have some sewing fun today?
Oh My Golly I love this top!!! That lime rose is the coolest!! How wonderful that the homespuns made it into this quilt, and they're perfect with your vintage fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. It seems like the colors that were popular 35 or 40 years ago are once again popular.
