This was going to be a Wordless Wednesday post but I changed my mind. I can do that! My wonderful cake carrier is full of the 1930 reproduction rectangles ready to be basted around the paper pieces. Over 2000 of them. O my. This is my slow fiber project since I only work on it three times a month.
I looked for a photo of the cake carrier online but was not successful. In case you are curious, it is a rectangular shape that is about 2-3" deep and the 3/4"? lid snaps on at each short end. There are two handles on top that make transporting very, very easy. This has never held a cake only fabric!

I love 1930s fabric, even the reproductions. The colors and prints are fabulous. Your project is going to be great when finished.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors and fabrics... wonderful quilt pattern... can't wait to see the final results~
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of your fabric. I have been drawn to the 1930 and 40's fabric. I guess a new quilt is in the future using the fabric. Keep us posted on your progress.
ReplyDeletePaula! I remember that post and thank you for the link. I'm so super excited about this one. Plus, I liked reading how you work on this three times a month. It sets a positive example for me, gives me a good feeling about my on-going projects. You're just cool!
ReplyDeleteSometimes its best just not to count the number of pieces it takes to make a quilt, lol. Love the fabrics.
ReplyDelete*yummy* I love seeing neatly arranged rows of cut fabrics. Why does this make me so happy? Oh, who cares . . . . I just do!
ReplyDeleteI have a 30's project in the closet I must get back to...you've reminded me how much I love those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see some more of this project .....
