When I paw through the stash looking for the perfect match, I hear voices saying "Why did you buy me if you're not going to use me?" And it seems like many of us are hearing voices from fabric, which may just be a sign that we've bee stuck at home way too long. <br />Pat<br /> MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-8211205806523162342020-06-20T06:29:51.406-07:002020-06-20T06:29:51.406-07:00What a fun little quilt!

It does look like the highway lines zooming by :)<br /><br />And yes, fabric often pokes at me until I use it. It's often the unloved stuff, so I'm happy to get it used up. And it is always amazing how much better certain fabrics look in a quilt than folded up in the stash!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-46576035597428893162020-06-20T06:03:57.255-07:002020-06-20T06:03:57.255-07:00It's true that our fabric has supernatural pow...It's true that our fabric has supernatural powers!

It says "look how nicely we go together and there just might be enough to make a quilt with". Then I am forced to find a little more coordinating fabric, or buy some, and a quilt gets made. It's a never ending cycle that I am strangely thankful for. Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970200716143318934noreply@blogger.com
