The strange story is:
that I've had this long string of little rectangles hanging
around for eons--since the 1990's, in fact...and kept thinking now what'll I ever
use these for---???
BUT, I couldn't bear to throw them away...
I had used these fabrics in the first hexagon quilt I made (all by hand)
which is now hanging in our living room.
Here they appear in some of the hexies:
Which goes to show --wonderful fabrics and designs never go out of style...
Here's a closer look at them...now, I ask you,
how could I EVER have just thrown them away??? the horse background and
that lighter leaf just go perfectly....
The pink waves is an old Jinny Beyer print, and I cannot recall who designed the silvery leaves; they are two of my favorite prints of all times...;)))
And here they are--popping up to surround my appliqued horses....who knew????
Pfaff Varimatic and used this Asian fan in place of the leaves;
you know, I must have had some kind of project in mind that never happened....
and they just languished in my "drawer of shame" lol
And....I still have quite a few left over..
.
How's that for serendipity??;)))
Because I used a different machine and seam allowance there are some variances in points
match-ups and sizes...but I'll work it out.
******************************************
Meanwhile, Pink and Green didn't like ANY of the border selections I made--worked all morning
trying out different ones....N O P E...it won't be the back of my 52 x 52 scrap piece after all....
it went off to visit some new friends in my closet (:*))).
