Well that big ole' squirrel is all sewn up and the
back is a bargain to boot!!
Here it is! It is going into the pile to be quilted soon
and may even end up as one of my cozy collection.
A single batt should be perfect and it will be a
very warm quilt for winter.
It really surprised me since I had assumed
selvages would not have a lot of color.
There ended up to be many greens,
orange/browns,
blues
and reds,
with just a few purple and yellows.
I did not include blacks, browns or pink. I felt
they would give a different tone to the quilt.
A back of yellow batik will set it off nicely and
the muted color will be beautiful as a binding.
The batik was actually found at a thrift shop!
Many thrifters find treasures in thrift stores
and now I can add my self to the list of lucky shoppers!
This bolt was priced at a stunning $9.50 and contains
8 meters of good quality batik.
I machine bind my quilts so the tough needling of the
batik shouldn't be a problem.
There are only a few stray selvages kicking around the
sewing room so I believe , " my work with selvages is done! "
