    Default Old Friends

    I was digging to the bottom of my scrap heap to find a few more pieces of fabric to cut up for my Spiderweb quilt and ran across a few old friends. Does anyone recognize these from about 20 years ago?

    I think I still have some of that light blue on the bottom.

    I remember the ivy print and the brown with the little rosebuds. Might still have some of each in a scrap box. Twenty years ago? OMG, I feel old!

    Yes, I used the ivy print in a quilt I made 10 years ago. An oldie but a goodie!

    I think I have the ivy one and possibly the green fabric with stars.

    not only do I recognize the fabrics, I have bolts in assorted colors. Bought an estimated 2,000 yards at a shop owner's estate sale in 2007 and decided to track my usage - over 500 yards so far. Since I'm now retired I can focus on turning it into Project Linus quilts. Luckily for me, the Linus coordinator makes a semi-annual trip to the Warm Company so I don't have to buy batting.

    I was gifted about 60 lbs of these fabrics. They are all colors and a variety of patterns. Most are just scraps or less than 1/2 yard cuts. Since I'm a scrappy quilter they are fitting right in with my projects. It's wonderful to find old friends and make good use of them.

    I have some of those heart fabrics from four or five years ago, must have been reprints.
