On Sundays my quilt shop posts pictures of fabrics that have between 1 and 3 yards left on the bolts, exactly how much isn't posted. These are priced at 20% off whatever is left. (If you haven't looked at how much nice fabric costs these days, be prepared for a surprise.)
This Sunday I got these dotted fabrics. It may look like random shopping, but those of us who quilt - a lot - know what colors and patterns we use. Even if they don't find a home in a quilt top the sizes are super nice for baby quilt backings.
Or, in this case, for Christmas quilts. The name of the collection is called Merry and Bright. Once again, those of us who quilt a lot know these things. And I have a coordinating fabric with a pretty green background.
A small stack of quilts and pillow cases will be picked up today for children's Christmas boxes in Tennessee. One of our baby quilt members, now sadly deceased, has a daughter who is a social worker there and coordinates a huge Christmas project. It's nice to remember Ginny this way, this year.
