Abandoned Fabrics...

Let's just say when a pretty fabric lands in my path - I do not detour!!  

(Just yesterday I found some gorgeous threads on a 'free pile' along the road.
  Good thing I picked it up yesterday - it rained cats and dogs today!)  

But I digress...

Sometime or other I came upon some gorgeous red toile.  

There wasn't much - so I used what there was. My plan was to 

make a little throw for the end of this bed at our summer cottage. 

But after using up all the toile in a patchwork combo 

- the throw was just not big enough.  

So I've got to come up with something else.

A project abandoned by someone else will come to my rescue.  

I found the blue toile and red ticking stitched together in a big bag 

of 'scraps' at a yard sale.   And there was lots of fabric in that bag folks!

Of course, it came home with me.  

Today - that red ticking will help me out...  

So a few snips & rips later...

...I cut me some patches from that wonderful ticking.

I'm thinking a border of ticking and homespun (also in my 'stash') 

will make this little throw an acceptable size.

Goodness I love fabric!
