I started working on a project. Â I planned on telling you about it tomorrow. Â Usually on Mondays I do a “what I’m working on” post. Â Today, I have to “put the cart before the horse”.
I had to buy border fabric and I had to buy backing fabric. Â This project has a deadline and I’m a little behind.
I ended up picking this. Â It will make a great border and I didn’t have time to shop for both fabric separately so this is going to be both the border and backing fabric. Â It will work and actually even look pretty good so I’m going with it.
My deadline is March 5th at 8am that I have to have it finished. Â It’s do-able but I need to keep trucking along with the project.
I found the fabric at Material Magic yesterday. Â You might remember that I did a shop tour of the shop. You can find it here. Â As the gal was checking me out she said that they got this fabric in thinking it would be great for Quilts of Valor. Â I think they are right. It would.
It’s actually a backing fabric that’s 108″. Â Perfect. Â That’s going to speed up my finishing even more…no piecing a backing for this project…YAHOO!! Â I’m off. Â I want to get as much done on this as I can today.
To see other stash use or acquisitions, check out Patchwork Times.
I love that fabric! would you please tell me what’s on the selvage so I can try to find some for a Quilt of Valor I’m working on. Thanks you in advance!
