About three years ago I sorted out my Sewing Room, labelling drawers and boxes so I knew where everything was. But then I did loads more projects and everything got mixed up again.
During my recent "Spring clean" I came upon lots of labelled packs, fabrics I had gathered together for future projects etc. Amongst those I found this pack of strips ready to be made into a backing, I had even slipped a little note inside the pack with the dimensions it would end up as and a little sketch of the order in which to join the strips!
The strips all needed a good press because they had been folded away in the plastic bag for years!
But I pressed them, sewed them up and made just the right sized backing for another Boy Cot quilt I put together last week. More stash used up.
The quilt is sandwiched and ready for me to start hand quilting tomorrow when I am at my Patchwork Group meeting. The quilt has used up scraps from my stash too.
So, my tip is "Label your stash"!
Very nice to use more of your stash. And another quilt nearly done. Good on you
ReplyDeleteI had to cut off a piece of batting from new yardage but otherwise everything was from my stash.
