dilemma.....

last summer i took jo morton's class at maine quilts.  at the time, i had only 1 small clear shoebox of civil war reproduction fabrics, hence the title of today's post.  i am absolutely loving making small repro quilts, so much so that i haven't given a thought to bed-size quilts for some time now.  i'm not whining, mind you, simply having a bit of a reality check here.  besides these 2 overflowing shoeboxes, i have 2 more regular ones that can be closed, albeit full.  that explains why i've been starting a new little quilt nearly every week...sometimes 2!   tomorrow i'll post a solution.

  1. I love making little quilts.....today for my birthday a friend gave me a Gee's Bend quilt kit it's called Housetop. I will try to post soon and share photos.

    Patiently awaiting your solution...

  2. I love your little quilts, Grace. And they squeeze quite well in between big quilts! : )

  3. I'm always so surprised by how LITTLE fabric a big quilt uses! A queen size quilt should use AT LEAST a large clothes basket of fabric! I keep hoping.........
