As I finally got my wringer unit back from having it worked on, yesterday I started starching fabric for 2 sets of 2 oversized lap quilts for 2 couples. Measured what I needed for each set, cut, then starched and hung it up to dry. As it's so dry in the basement right now, it didn't take long for the fabric to dry so on Saturday I'll be pressing all the fabrics and getting ready to start cutting and assembling. One of the patterns is the Drunkard's path as I've never done one but I've had the plastic templates for years. Now it the time to get out of my comfort zone about curves and try my hand at it. I've been watching videos on how to stitch them out. The other pattern is called Movement in Squares. I took that one into EQ8, created the various blocks so I could figure out how much of each fabric I needed. The Drunk's Path will be made in burgundy and tan fabrics. And boy did the burgundy fabrics bleed like a stuck pig. So glad I starch my fabrics first and then press misting them with a mixture of vinegar and water as supposedly vinegar is supposed to help set the color too. I always give a couple color guard sheets with a note how to use them with every quilt I gift out.
