I think the 30's would look great in dresden or Sun Bonnet Sue blocks.Congrats on your new additions to your stash. I can't say about the batiks- if there is enough in size to use- they would make a beautiful jacket, since you aid you already had a lot.

Sounds like a treasure trove to me. It is always fun to receive fabric.

They work up beautifully in Landscapes--like for water, some hills, ect. Good luck!

Happy for you. Was at thrift store with daughter and got a bag that sign said was linens. I bought it for $3.00 and it was a plastic bag with zipper king size quilts come it. Some had been used but big enough to use in scrap quilt, 3 peices that are nice cotton and 3-4 yards each and some heavy I will use for dog beds for the dogs. Will wait to see what you make out of them. Love batiks

Lucky you, my favorite kind of fabric is batiks.
|
Perhaps some of the fabric could be made into a "thank you" quilt for your hub's boss for the lovely fabric.
|
What a nice surprise from your boss. Would he appreciate a wall hanging or lap quilt made from his gift. That would be the fist thing I would do, as a thank you.
peace |
Congrats Lynnie, Enjoy your good fortune!

Qand E, love the big Dresdan quilt you made. I also found out that my cousin is expecting. I'm so excited about it. What to do next for her??? Maybe a batik quilt.
