I was not going to make a Christmas quilt this year until I found this vintage panel at the thrift store with the 12 Days of Christmas. The panel (1.49) circa 1980's is actually a panel to make a fabric book. Why not make a quilt with it?! Well, it took me some time to recognize that each of the intended pages is a slightly different size because its supposed to be a book- duh! But it is destined to be a quilt in my hands, a very wonky quilt, my specialty! I love illustrations on this fabric. The maid a milking and the drummer drumming are a cute pair side by side, no? Of course, there will be a new Christmas quilt this year! How many days do I have to finish this one, Lorna? Making Merry! Jessica Pearl

ReplyDeleteYou are so good at repurposing!!
ReplyDeleteThis could make a really fun quilt. I can't wit to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteWell, Jessica... As of right this minute, you have only 62 days left to go! Love the panel! What a great find! I can't wait to see your progress.
ReplyDeleteJes, I love this panel and can see them cut apart with wonky log cabin borders in red and green stitched around them! Although I have to admit I did laugh when you referred to it as 1980's circa....my ol' high school days came flooding back to mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing find! I cannot wait to see the finished product...
