tuesday = fabric

Hi!

Today I’m going to share some vintage quilt squares I bought last summer. I don’t remember what I paid but seem to recall that they were in a box of scraps & I didn’t realize what they were until I got home and sorted through everything.


They are not in great condition, they have lots of stains, but I kind of like that about them.


They are just begging to be used to make something. {you know what I’m thinking don’t you?!}








Thanks for all the nice comments about my love birds…it was a really fun, easy project. In fact, I’m going to do another one very soon since over the weekend I found another of the exact same covered dishes at the same thrift store where I bought the first one. Plus, I’ve got a ton of that {very messy, which I forgot to mention} moss leftover…

One more thing…check out yet another amazing creation at house on hill road.

What lovely bits of fabric - I really envy the craft stores you have in the US - we don't have anything like bords nests and fake birds or anything overe here.

Those are beautiful. We have my grandmother's quilt squares framed on embroidery hoops.

Oh what lovely squares! I just love vintagey quilt blocks. There are so many nice reproduction prints out there, but nothing compares to the originals.

Can't wait to see more!
