WHAT is wrong with me?!?

I picked up more wool.
MORE WOOL!


I have a project that I've been working on,
(read that as:  started & in a pile on my ironing board :)
It is called "10 cents a Chance"
and was a McCall's Quilting magazine Web Bonus LAST summer.
Anyway, the "kit" had a chunk of blue fabric printed with white stars.
BUT, if you cut the blue star fabric into the size required for piecing,
it cut THROUGH the stars.
I don't think that is acceptable for a "field" in a flag. 
No flag should have partial stars in my book.
So, I decided that I should applique stars onto this quilt. 
And, I should have a few shades of creams/whites in wool. 
This would "make" the quilt, I decided...
So, at last weeks' guild quilt show, I hit up the booth of the "wool lady".
Thank you, wool lady.

I now have plenty of wool. 
Like I didn't have wool in my life already!


Only 288 woolen stars to cut and applique!

    1. Hello! The blue star fabric is an older Jo Morton fabric - that I purchased a couple of years ago from The Good Wives Co, Marion, Ohio. I know they no longer have it in stock. I think there is a newer fabric in stock: still the same print in a different colorway - dark tan background with darker stars that I think are dark red...
