Quilting Fun...

I have been collecting fabric for as long as I can remember. This double quilt that I am starting has a mixture of old and new. Some fabric remnants that I had printed at University, some old clothing that I used to wear out clubbing in the 90's-couldn't part with the Red or Dead trousers I used to wear. I cut them up and added them to the quilt. An old 90's velour T shirt that I used to wear clubbing had the logo 'run for your life' emblazoned accross the front-I remember having my photo in Mixmag back in the day-Royal highland Centre Dance Festival-Ingliston. Wow, that's taking me back: Carl Cox, Pete Tong and Nick Warren...what a line up-does anyone remember the 'Braveheart tune?'. I will try to get that photo of the T shirt and me looking slightly worse for wear. Got me feeling nostalgic now...anyway lots of printed memories on this quilt...must get in finished...

Can anyone spot the Liberty prints? Liberty rules! There is map printed fabric and numbers that are too cool-must take a better shot of these to share with you all! Still gotta complete the two border fabrics which I will do in slightly more muted fabrics as this is a mish-mash of happy, crazy colour...not to everyone's taste I am sure! There is also some crazy tie-dye trousers of my mum's. Not sure when she wore these, but they were like harem pants-worn to death, they gotta be for the 80's. Fabric/prints are so nostalgic. I am planning to cup up lost's more smaller squares to patchwork for cushion covers. Watch this space for more ideas. Frustrated as do not have the time to get this finished....soon!

Meanwhile I am also looking at making cushion covers to reduce the bulk of fabric samples, buttons and swatches that I have in my stash...
