A SHIRT TALE OR SHOULD IT BE TAIL



Wallpaper Quilts !!! That is the name Kaffe Fassett gave to the name of quilts made from strips of fabric . Lovely name and a very pleasing outcome .


Bluebell and myself have spent quite a few hours today cutting shirts into strips . We're hoping to get at least 2 large quilts from the shirts we have .

This is a picture of our workstation , one each side and steady as we go.



This is the washing basket still with many shirts to iron and cut



These are the strips we have cut so far . 3 1/2 inch strips . Many more to cut before we have a good mix of colours.



The next exciting part will be to show you our quilts in progress .
