I found a bin of unloved fabric and fell in love with some of it. I got a great deal – two bucks a yard – on the decorator fabric if I bought the entire remains of the role. Here is what I bought:
Designer fabric for two bucks a yard!
Then, I dug through my scraps to see what matched.
Rummaged through the scraps to find a match.
Then, I started sewing circles and making quilts. I have the first of three ready to be quilted – that’s tomorrow’s project. I wonder if I can sell them? I’ve never sold a quilt before; I’ve always given them to family and friends, or donated them to charities for fund-raising events.
Appliqued blue and turquoise circles.
Quartered and rearranged.
I made a few crazy abstract circles.
Blue circles ready for quilting.
I have three quilt tops ready to go. Inspired by the beautiful blues and turquoises of the Gulf of Mexico they are named Coastal Curls, Surf Circles, and Ripples in the Gulf.
Finished the first of a series of three quilts – this one is named “Surf Circles.”

Next to be quilted, “Ripples in the Gulf.”
The next project will be from the other fabric I nabbed at two bucks a yard! I wonder what I’ll do with it? Here it is:
Found these great leftover designer fabrics!
