I'm trying to finish a quilt top by August 1; it's very labor intensive. Then I'll be working on a sampler for a long time ... so you'd think I wouldn't even be thinking about what quilt I want to make AFTER that, but you'd be wrong!
I have a lot of rick rack and lace left over from my doll making days and I have enough yards of 1 particular lace to go around 20 large grandmother's fans; I have downloaded a lovely pattern in which the 20 fans are identical (Oriental fabrics). I can't decide whether to do the fans exactly alike (as in the pattern) or to use different fabrics in each of the 16 fans. 3 colors comprise each 8-blade fan. I'd like to do the fans in Oriental fabrics, but I have none as yet. Obviously, whatever I decide will impact on how many fabrics and/or what fabric amounts I buy.
Do you have an opinion or a personal preference you would like to share with me? I'd be interested to know. Thanks! Or GF pix to share with me.
