Fruit Salad


I just finished piecing this quilt made up of random length pieces made into strips. The fabrics are a mix of new, recycled and vintage prints. I probably won't add a border and the quilting will be either simple straight lines, randomly placed, or Baptist Fans, which I love doing. The backing will be two retro print sheets I picked up in a junk store for NZ$4 each.


I now have three quilt tops waiting to be made into quilts. I thought that using up some of my stash would reduce the volume of fabric wedged into my bottom drawer, but it's hardly made a dent and I still have a number of shirts waiting to be cut up and prepared ready for use.
