Haha... Amazing how those scraps can pile up! I've been saving old cruddy T-shirts for years, to make a rug. You should see the *garbage bags* full of those things... I need to make that rug pronto before that scrap bag takes over the house!

Nice chevron! And yes crinkly-quilty is very accurate!Thank you, Kathryn! I really wanted you to pop in here. I sort of had that feeling, that the pink would be fighting too much to be the star. With so much going on in this quilt, the fabrics in addition to the barn raising arrangement, the thread really ought to just be a wallflower. On a side note, I put a bunch of historic prints in my shopping cart at Thousands of Bolts, but didn't hit checkout yet. I love historic prints! But, I have spent so much recently, plus had all the scraps from this quilt, too, I think I need to make something else with these. Though my customer did not want grays in the fabric, I think I will add some nice grays to the roses and turquoise/teals and do another log cabin variation, maybe the chevron? I'm not sure how to to it since it really is different, not two distinct sides to it. This one, but of course, in the other colors:Yeah, you like my term "crinkly-quilty"? Seems descriptive enough, right?
I'm going with the light gray. I did a small test piece on some scrap fabric and the thread seems good and strong. Ready to go tomorrow when I'm fresh. It's sandwiched.
And I'm doing an all-over dewdrop pattern sort of like this test swatch.
