Those fabrics will be a treasure that is for sure. Those boys love their quilts!

It is great to see your process and to follow your progress. You inspire me to get up and start sewing and quilting.

When I make a quilt, I put the leftover fabric in a bag and save it as a repair kit. Now, I'm thinking that it was not such a good idea as the quilts I've made for family have been well used, and the fabrics are all faded. So just adding the saved would stick out like a sore thumb.

Made tears come to my eyes. Must share finished.

Today"s Progress
 

So we are coming to the end of the cutting for the dark pieces. This was my progress today. I cut 25 (4 12 in) squares. 72 (3in) squares that i then cut in half to get 144 (hst). Then i cut 104 rectangles that were (2 13/16 in by 5 9/16 in). These will be cut in half tomorrow to make 104 Ts and a 104 Tsr. Just could not cut any longer today, It is hard to tell the front from the back when working with Batiks. so i will finish they in the morning with a fresh rested set of eyes :):):) . Also Tomorrow we shall start cutting the lights. Here is a pic of today's progress
