Baby Quilts and Masks!
Finished this one finally and am relatively pleased although probably won't do again!!
This was definitely a oops that I didn't notice until I had it sewn together and then I only fixed the problems one at a time as I only noticed one of the twisted four patches at first. I should have taken pictures as I went along but was trying to be efficient! I must say that it did give me an idea for a different arrangement!!
Fixed!
My daughter requested some masks as she has been doing our shopping and picking up of medicines etc. She specifically asked for "tie-dyed" ones. She used to mock all my dyed t-shirts but wears them almost exclusively these days!! I hadn't considered doing dyed ones but thought it was a great use of some of those "drop cloths" I had while doing ice dyeing. I also thought that the center of the kaleidoscopic ice dyed pieces would give them a "designer" look. She told me that after thee MIRS epidemic in China several years ago, designer face masks were all the rage. The funny thing is that I was rueing the fact that I had no flannel down here as I don't quilt with flannel so the first three masks were made using some leftover cotton batting which worked fine! However, as I was assembling the third one, it suddenly occurred to me that I had yards and yards of flannel in cream, white and gray solids as I used flannel as a foundation for my jackets. As I haven't done a jacket in a couple of years, just forgot about it. I made seven masks but daughter was off with two before I got them in the picture!
Now back to baby quilts although may make some masks with ties. Shockingly, even my husband is going to take a couple back home with him!
