So, during the time between quilting the blocks and making my mind up for a border motif for the Farmer’s wife, I cleaned out drawers and boxes in my quiltroom. Donated a shopping bag full of fabrics that I didn’t like anymore ( or gifts from others that I never liked: neither person nor fabric LOL) and re-arranged fabrics that were keepers. I even cut out a piece of cardboard in order to fold all of my fabrics the same size, so I could get nice, even stacks....yup: omg 😮, lockdown fever perhaps?
I also came across a pattern I got for free when I bought the matching panel.
I tucked everything else I found in a box labelled “ UFO’S” and sewed this together frantically on and off in about 2 weeks time.
The pattern as well as the panel is called Thicket from Moda. I hoped it would make a dent in my black/white fabrics, but it turned out that my whites were mostly a bit off white instead of really white.
Not quilted yet, there was no backing available in my stash and since then, non essential shops are closed. Quilt shops are non essential, but that one is open for discussion if you asked me!
But! Note the red and whites appearing on the left side of this pic. O my, that was when the mojo really grabbed me by the throat,so to say. There was no stopping me now: I plunged into a red and white adventure!
