Tonight is Stash Sisters class at Little Quilts. Help with stashbusting. Last time, we received a stashbusting pattern for a reversible quilt for which we would pull out two large pieces from our "collection" (I prefer to think of it as a collection rather than stash....stash sounds kinda sinister to me, like fabric collected and stored in a damp, dark alley somewhere...received from unsavory characters with torn coats and dirt tattoed on their fingers). Here's what I'm using, an old Redware and an old Redware Revisited (and maybe there's Redware II in there). I had yards and yards of the blue Redware fabric, easily the longest length of quilt fabric I've ever bought (and I have no idea what my original plans for it might have been; apparently I was visualizing a quilted circus tent), so what a satisfying feeling actually to Bust Into It at last. The third is a new fabric, and I might use the fourth, another old RR. Have one side finished (actually finished) and am starting the other side now. Pics to follow.

Those are great fabrics...can't wait to see your reversible quilt. Outstanding way to "Bust your Collection" I love it!
I can hardly wait to see your reversible stash busting quilt!
The dirt tattooed on the fingers gave me a laugh! 'Collection' does sound so much more civilised. I feel sad when I use up some of my fabric, but then I rarely buy enough of each for the circus tent though (snigger snigger). I saw a horse today and immediately thought of your Amish neighbours. Makes me laugh every time.
Those are great colors in the fabrics you chose, right up my alley! I can't wait to see the finished project.
I am looking forward to see how your quilt will look.
I also think of and speak of my fabrics as fabric collection :-)
Karen, these colours are gorgeous! I love them and look forward to your quilt.
Sounds like a fun project - can hardly wait to see -- both sides *s*
