allergic to rick rack
I got a ton of madras shirts over the years from my aunt's hand me downs, I don't believe I've ever purchased a plaid piece of clothing for m yself since
THANK YOU for mentioning it can bleed or shrink. I just sent an offer for a big lot on ebay so if I get some I'll be sure to soak and shrink it when we get back home.
after I cut apart and reassemble the 9patches I have a 10.5" block. I intend to make this 50X70".
So my thought, just for something different is when I'm quilting, to run the rickrack down and across using the 10" blocks seams to quilt down the rickrack, then quilt the rest. Or viceversa. So there wouldn't be any frayed ends problem, they will be in the binding. But what I think about when stitching isn't always what I do later, my working wall speaks over time.
I was really sorry to see the empty Creations quilt shop building here, visited it 5 years ago. I need to start calling as google is so out of tune with what is open and what is long gone. It really was a nice shop. Not that I'm buying fabric, if I do I'm saving that day for Quitman's Stitchin' Heaven when we turn back for home. What I'm seriously looking for is one of them having a 28MM Olfa yellow ergonomic curved rotary cutter. I've had a watch on Ebay for months, I don't think they are made anymore, no response from Olfa to my query, and I really like that size for paper piecing and I want one to keep with my sewing stuff in the RV.
thanks for the input everyone!
