I could write a sonnet about shirting fabrics.
I collect them, I use them in my quilts, and I am always hesitant to use one of them up 100% just in case I need a small piece for a charm quilt or something.
Probably that's a crazy idea, but I only ever use 90% of any of my shirtings leaving at least a 6 inch wide piece left in my collection. Maybe my niece will make a quilt out of them someday long after I'm gone.
My signature quilt is coming along. Of all the star blocks I need to complete the quilt I am exactly 74.8% done with those, but hey - who's counting?!
For some cool photos of a baby quilt - check out on Mariruru blog by Mai. She hand quilted it and it's pretty darn adorable.
Temptation is making me think about creating a toddler quilt for my little one since he's getting too long/tall for a baby quilt and could really use something a bit larger.
(insert wrist slap here)
Stay focused! Finish the signature quilt!!! Sigh...........ok.
ps, it looks like Kathie loves shirtings too.

You are too funny! You and your niece will be quilting those 6 inches together. :)
Oh I love shirtings! They are so addicting and I'll admit to not wanting to use all of a certain piece of fabric up because "you never know" if you'll need it in the future! LOL
