Hope you’re feeling better by now so you can really enjoy your quilt, which I think is going to look fantastic.

Beautiful fabric! And aren’t rotary cutters fantastic? Truly a magnificent invention.
I made that oven mitt too! Love that book, sigh….

Poor you! Get well soon and have fun with the quilt. Speaking of cutting implements–have you ever seen Dial M for Murder? I recommend it: Grace Kelley is the leading lady, and the contents of a sewing basket get put to some diabolical uses. Maybe an afternoon-on-the-couch watch?

Thanks, guys! Angelika, I line-dry pretty much everything when the weather is good to save $ and electricity. I wash the fabric in warm water, which is what I’ll do with the quilt later on. But the finished item will either be line-dried or put through the dryer on low heat, so I’m hoping the shrinkage won’t be too much of a problem. Of course, that’s assuming I’m going to keep it – if it’s going elsewhere I’d better give it the full dryer treatment so the recipient doesn’t get any nasty surprises!

Looking at all that fabric makes me want to dive into my fabric stash again. I have a whole closet full that is just scraming to become a couple of scrappy quilts, which are my favorites. Why do you linedry your fabric? I throw mine into the dryer, so they’ll shrink before I cut them and not later, when they are a quilt.
