Stuff that is photographic--oh god, more quilts. The amount of fabric doesn't seem to be going down either, I don't understand it.

Fancy Stripe Status: Getting bigger, need more white fabric.

String Quilt: top's pretty much down, need to find backing material.
Bargello Quilt: Bargello part is done, I think I'll do something on the top and bottom to stretch it out.
And I've put my new quilting experience to use in garments:


Shirt was original from Army/Navy surplus, I re-cut it, shortened the sleeves, changed the collar, and put in the braids. They were hand-pieced, and the entire shirt was handsewn. I feel like it looks much more appropriate than machine stitching would have.

The braids come from the scraps of this project, which I think I'm abandoning. It doesn't sit well (I wish I'd had a mannequin to draft it on) and I think it's too busy to work under the wing vest.

And I've been working up some tiny 2" squares in a pattern called Winding Ways with black and gray wool. I think they'll eventually be a vest, can't imagine how long that'll take to work up.
