Nanners here! In case you are getting lost, there are three of us - my mom (GrannyD) is the oldest of us, I (Nanners) am her daughter, and Peach (my daughter) is the youngest in her mid-twenties.
What started out as mild interest has become...something more. Something that has taken over my world. I see fabric everywhere. I mean everywhere. I was looking at a t-shirt at Walmart the other day and wondering how many five-inch squares I could get out of the fabric. It's getting to be ridiculous.
This is the fabric I started with:
The 5" squares at the top are four packs of Crafty's charm squares (from this line and this one). I love this fabric - it's so dramatic. I'm still trying to decide what to do with it. The bright, big squares below are a monster pack of fat quarters that GrannyD bought me as a surprise. (*These are affiliate links to Amazon, btw.) Ohmigosh, the colors are so gorgeous!
So I started making this:
All you experienced quilters out there - I know some of the points aren't perfect, don't point (heh) out my flaws here. I do enough of that myself. The point (heh) is, I'm having so much fun! (OK, I'll stop.) Now I'm finding fabric everywhere - the Salvation Army, Walmart discount aisles...I even found plastic totes full of someone's scraps at the Goodwill store yesterday for eight bucks. I was so excited! I had to find shelves to store it all neatly!
How did your stash get started? What made you stop and think, "Hey, I could make a quilt?" We love stories around here, so tell us yours in the comments!
