Holds tons of fabric
On the large eagle block shown first – somehow I had to get the red striped fabric worked in. My first idea was to use it as the under fabric in the reverse appliqued feather borders. However, as quilter friend Shirley noted, that would not work – - striped, lined fabric pattern with curved edges. She is right, it would not be a good marriage!
Most of my fabric is kept in large handwoven baskets where it is usually buried from sight. A few smaller wire baskets help with fat quarters and smaller fabric pieces. Last weekend, at the Elkhorn Flea Market, I found 3 enamelware pieces that I thought would work for helping me get more organized. The larger cake tray is going to hold all the items on my quilt America Friends so I can find them when needed! The loaf type pan can handle fat quarters and half yards so they can be seen easily. Into the large round pan I will keep some smaller pieces. Since becoming an appliquer, I have noticed smaller snibbles are still viable.
