I have a thing for "shirtings." (Fabrics like the ones above - little prints on white/muslin.) I just really like them - I think they're my favorite of the reproduction-era fabrics. I love to throw them in modern quilts, like my Halloween quilt last fall. This project is a little more traditional.
I feel like I haven't shared very much new stuff recently. I've been working on bunch of projects over the past few weeks that I haven't really been able to share. So I thought I'd give a sneak peak of one of them. This little pile is a mystery quilt for an upcoming retreat this week. Hopefully no one going to the retreat sees this post. I'm hoping since it's in a day and a half, I'll be safe.
I will share the finished result after the retreat is through. I'm thinking of a pattern as well. My 'to do' list is getting kind of scary.

My to do list sometimes gets scary too. I just try not to think about it! Or else I sew like crazy and get caught up! Sometimes not thinking about it is the only alternative!
