Over the past few weeks, I’ve been looking at a couple of BOMs I had put away. One I will make as Mr. Q.O. really likes it, it will be quick to piece and, as it has flannel fabric, will be a perfect lap quilt for the winter. The second one? The more I looked at the patterns, the more I realized they just weren’t appealing to me. So I had a long hard look at the fabrics contained in the kits for it and was pleasantly surprised when I realized there are some very pretty and quite useable fabrics, most in half yard or long quarter cuts.
There are some pretty pink and brown fabrics:
Some brown, gold, green and red fabrics:
Some lovely blue fabrics:
Some smaller rectangular pieces in a variety of colours:
All this fabric from kits to make 9 small doll quilts. Lots and lots of ideas are swimming about in my mind regarding what I might make with these. I’m really looking forward to playing with these now that they’re all washed, as they’re quite different from those which I normally use.
Wednesday was a rather overcast day but Lester was on the windowsill. Here he was resting his eyes after watching to see just what the gardener was doing on the roof garden:
Smudge was busy with the toy basket.

Great way to repurpose the fabrics! And yes, there are some really nice ones there too. My cats were pretty lazy yesterday too. I think today will be similar.

It’s interesting how are taste in fabric changes. These must have appealed to you at one time but they definitely don’t look like the fabrics we’re used to seeing you use! I love the fabrics in that last picture,,,very pretty 🙂 Have a great day with the kitties!

Interesting collection of fabrics, and a good way to add to your stash instead of using them with their patterns. Of course Lester has to rest his eyes – supervising the gardener is tiring work!

As I was “shopping” in my stash the other day I cam across many fabrics that I just can’t believe it was me who purchased them. My taste in fabrics has changed so much in the past three years…three short years!
But I love the scrappy look and I know that some of these will be put to good use. The others…well I have to think of something creative to do with them…as I’m sure you will do with yours, Cathi.
I have faith in you!

the fabrics can probably be worked into a lot of different quilts now that you don’t consider them as a ‘group’ for a project. I have the other problem, I pile fabrics I like together and there isn’t any specific project in mind. I keep them like that for years, LOL!

Hello Cathi, Lester and Smudge are so lovely with their wonderful fur!
I have been busy and I can see that you have been also!
All these fabrics with matching colours look lovely and they are just calling to start something…
