Look What I Found...

While looking for more fabric scraps

to cut up into

chicken pot lid holders,

I found this bag.

And in it.

Under some fabric

all rolled up

was an old tablecloth.

I unrolled it and found

lots of fabric and pieced stuff.

I remember I had

used the tablecloth to crazy piece

one side

and use up lots of bits of fabric.

This fabric is some of the same stuff

I am cutting up for chickens.

It is fabric I bought at

the 5 and dime store.

Not really fabric you would use for a quilt.

But I liked the designs.

I did this over 10 years ago.

And never finished

making whatever it was

I was going to make.

I think I was going to make a table cloth

and then changed my mind.

I think this because I found more pieces

with napkins as backing.

Or were they going to be place mats?

I think I was going to turn it into a quilt.

I think this was the plan

because I found

a large pieced backing.

Now I get to figure out

what I want to do:

1. Finish it as a tablecloth

2. Finish it as a quilt

3. Cut it up and make something else.

?

I don't know what I will do.

Except.

I know I will finish my chicken project first.

I am still cutting out chickens.

Lots and lots of cutting.

This is neat because I am getting

rid of bits and pieces of fabric.

The clutter must go.

I am keeping all of my

good quilting

fabric scraps

for a string quilt.

I'll show you my pile of

chicken parts

tomorrow.
