Fabric Friday: Thrifted Fabrics
Thanks for the congratulations on yesterday's post! It was so exciting! Now to reveal the fabrics:
I filled a big bag with all sorts of stuff but this post is just showcasing the vintage prints. The other fabrics I bought aren't as exciting - just plain things like some blue shirting, a white linen blend, etc.
Most of the pieces aren't too big but that's okay - I don't need yards and yards of the stuff!
This is my favorite:
Cheater patchwork!
The quality of vintage fabric is questionable - you all know that I am not a fan of anything less than "quilt shop quality." But I am not a fabric snob when it comes to vintage fabrics - if I like the pattern - that's all that matters. I plan on making a simple patchwork square quilt out of my vintage fabrics - no intricate piecing and something simple to showcase the prints.
