I'm thinking I will probably finish up these 5 (the fabric is folded) dolls and donate them, but will sew with the sewing machine. The one doll that is stitched together on the right is hand done. Easier on the machine.
I don't know what kind of fabric this is but it is heavy (thick) and shiny. Beautiful blue color. There is may be 1 to 1.5 yards, a piece has been cut out so truly not a full 1.5 yards.
I love old fabrics, will have to check if it is reproduction or truly older. It feels different than the reproduction fabrics I already have so am hoping it is old. On the blue jean looking fabric the red flowers are raised.
Now I know we all keep an old hand forged nail in our fabric so here is the one I found, all rusty and neat.
Triangles, small squares, bigger squares already cut out and ready to be sewn back together and quilted. This winter I'll probably separate the difference sizes. Some of the fabric is really nice and some of it isn't. All personal preference, I'm sure he thought it was fantastic (the gentleman in the family was the quilter).
We are supposed to be getting snow on Thursday. It will be fun to see John out playing it in. I have a feeling he is going to love it. It is definitely getting a chill in the air so this weekend we are preparing, turning off hose water, finishing stacking the wood, double checking that all the windows are fastened, moving the patio furniture undercover, etc.
