So what happened to all those stripes

in the laundry chute??? I actually threw them in the dryer yesterday....and folded them all without one sneeze....guess i am going to have to go thru the stash color by color...flip them all in the dryer NO dryer sheet....

These are mostly batik stripes...with a few broadcloth stripes...I really need to make fq and 1/2 yards out of some of the batiks...i have YARDS of alot of them...up to about 6 yards...what was i thinking....oh i know I LOVE striped batiks...and use them ALOT in almost every quilts....the watery ones are good for everything from water to leaves, sunsets...yummmy colors in them...


Here they are all piled on the sofa...and this is NOT a small sofa...front view...top view of the PILE!!!! thats the last of that green stripey batik on the left...one of my all time fav fabs Folded and sorted and ready to go in the upstairs closet...


QUilt cat had to get in on the fun....he loves fabric....Pile of scraps...they went in the scrap bin and if they dont fit in the scrap bin they are getting DONATED somewhere to someone...only one scrap bin for me from now on
of course the cat liked these too...can you tell why??? expensive batiks from batiks etc...$50 or so each...too good to use...the noncat print gets used as a table cloth on the backporch but I dont leave it out since it would get bleached in NO time flat...

so today its the lr curtains or the slipcover for the old GOLD velvet wing chair in the bedroom...going to use chenille bedspreads on it....
