I am making progress with laying out Grandmother's Choice after a serious afternoon of fabric buying. As usual, I bought too much fabric because I was too lazy to take out the calculator or sketch things out at the store. Another problem has reared its head - not enough design wall!
Fabric buying.........one of my favorite pastimes! Your Grandmother's Choice quilt is so vibrant.....as are most of the things I see on your blog!
ReplyDeletea question Mary can a quilter ever have too much fabric? Your design wall is looking good with your lovely quilt on it
ReplyDeleteIn my dreams I can see there being a possibility of too much fabric, but not in reality!
DeleteI can see that it's a challenge with a really big quilt. Maybe one corner at a time on the wall?
ReplyDeleteI have bought another flannel backed table cloth and doubled the size of the design wall. See today's post for the current layout. I will say that the tablecloths that you buy now are but a pale imitation of the one I have had for 15+ years. The so-called "flannel" on it is more akin to spider webs than anything really useful. Once this quilt is off the wall, I will follow the suggestion of a friend and get some felt yardage and use that.
