Blowing in the wind

  

Yesterday was the perfect day for washing fabric.  Actually it will probably be the last good outdoors drying day.  Once the snow flies, I use an indoor drying rack.  In our house we use the dryer simply to fluff our clothes and to remove the occasional cat hair.   

This is what my $20.00 worth of fabric looks like once it is washed and folded.  Most of the pieces are at least two metres (78 inches) in length, with six pieces in excess of 4 metres.  The bottom piece is 4 metres of white wool which I’ll use as a liner.

My next quilt project is a Chinese coin quilt in shades of blue.  75 different blocks of blue fabric is what I’m planning.

 

This is the pile I purchased at Village Value in Fredericton for $4.00.  Not as impressive as the $20.00 buy but there is a few pieces of blue which will work well.
