| Have you ever wanted to step back in time? One of my least favorite means of transportation growing up was the Streetcar. In our area Streetcars were everywhere, their tracks threading through neighborhoods and down city streets. Why the dislike? Car sickness. Simple as that, still have it even today unless I drive or sit in the front seat. Now that might be more than you wanted to know but it brings up a point....older is not always better. Fabric that is. Like many I have been collecting fabric for a long time. I am working on a purge mission. I have concluded that many of the fabrics in my stash just aren't going to work with my current esthetic. While considering all this our Sew and Sew member, Betty Jane, brought in her finished quilt made from fabrics in her stash that no longer suit her creative direction.  I think this is a great use of all those stash fabrics. Notice how the color families are grouped. The white sashing makes it fresh and modern. A double border pulls it all together. Time for me to think about fresh new ways to use up all that older fabric. It's all quality fabric but my direction has changed and my fabric needs to reflect that. *photo is from the Heinz Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa. Refurbished Streetcar, it is a beauty!  |
