Click Here ,showed you the fabrics as the lay unwashed. Today as I move along I washed the fabrics for the front of the Quilt. Here they are washed and dried all I need to do now is get the design ready. I have not decided what I am going to do with this quilt yet as far as the actual design. Lots of designs are going through my mind. I am still waiting for the batting which is (In
quilting) , is a layer of insulation between a top layer of patchwork and a layer of backing material

I am also working on making a pair of slippers and a night shirt. I took advantege of the fact that I was washing the Quilt's fabrics to wash the flannel for my night shirt. Now that it has been washed and dried, the likelyhood of shrinkage is almost null. I fell in love with this fabric from the moment I saw it. Tomorrow I will be cutting the pieces, so before long you will have a modeling picture of my nightshirt. I am hoping to have it done before Sunday. More and more I realize that the good quality of a fabric makes a big difference in anything that you make. This fabric held up great to washing and drying. The fabric name is Circus Trickz By Jan Mullen.

Those deserts look scrumptious lovey!
I cannot wait to see both the quilt and your nightshirt! I think it's awesome that you are quilting. That is something I've been wanting to dig into for some time, but I'm just buried beneath yarn right now. Eventually.
