I have a great older lady that I work with and would not call her a sewer.. she is more of a collector... (hoarder)
Anyway she walked in today and handed me a bag of material this morning... Holly Smokes.. there were about 15 yards of great fabric. She then proceeds to tell me she has tons more and she will go thru it and pull out the cotton stuff for me because she will never do anything with it.
I will have to wait till I get hom to post pics
Ok.. so here is my question
I have really been tossing around my Dear Jane color choices and with my budget right now I have really hesitated to buy that 1st piece .
Now with all this great free fabric I now know what I will be using for the patches.
I really would like to use a good quality muslin for my background and sashing... Does anyone see a problem with that over time ?? I have seen so many pics on the internet but it is hard to tell if muslin is what was used or if it is just small print fabric.
Thank you for all the Advice... this board is Great...
