I've been tidying up my sewing room and found my Y2K patches. For those of you not into quilting way back then, loads of quilters all over the world swapped out 2½" or 3" packets of different fabrics (called squishies) with other quilters. The aim was to get 2,000 different fabrics to make a quilt to celebrate the millennium. I never got round to using mine, mainly because I like to mull over things. I think this could be my block pattern. It uses 80 different fabrics.
So laid out 5 blocks by 5 blocks gives me 2,000. We all know it's one thing having a plan, it's a whole other thing acting on said plan...
What's ten years or 20 years late in the grand scheme of things?
That would be a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the design---it looks like an awful lot of work......but with your quilting skills it could be amazing. I decided I could not use such small pieces and my Y2K quilt was a Sunbonnet Sue using a few Y2K fabrics
