Use a big part for backing then cut it into useable pieces and then strings, and then finally crumbs. 100 quilts later and I still haven't used anything new in a quilt.maggie fellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742453369089261080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-45209704697350987202016-09-09T14:11:51.001+01:002016-09-09T14:11:51.001+01:00I understand what you mean.

But it is giving in good faith of helping me out with my stash so I wash everything and iron it and never say a word. I appreciate her kindness. ;^)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-9342508238735021902016-09-09T04:34:46.849+01:002016-09-09T04:34:46.849+01:00I sometimes wish people would donate bags of fabri...I sometimes wish people would donate bags of fabric to me. The wish includes the ideal -- clean, pressed, freshly-scented (or unscented) fabric. But then I remember the times I've bought fabric at quilt show yard sales, or the thrift store, or even at auctions, get it home, wash it, and realize it has a scent that I can't get out. It's so discouraging. You just never know what the fabric will be like when it comes to you second-hand. --Nancy.

Some, gorgeous Waverly decorating fabric handed off to my sister for children's school costumes. Some to an art teacher in a country school with no extra funds. It often took some time before finding the right home, but passing it on was half the fun.Gypsy Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18192303145122990677noreply@blogger.com
