VA Row by Row, Blue Crab Quilt Co. and Stash Report


More fabric added this week.  I bought bright batiks for  'Something's Fishy'.  I also bought a couple of fabrics for another row, 'Crabs in the Waves' by Blue Crab Quilt Co. in Richmond, VA. 


I had a problem with the paper pieced crabs.  For some reason, the legs didn't line up quite right, and I had to trim the red crab block to get it down to 9 1/2 inches.  That imperfection will not keep me from putting it in the quilt, though.  I ended up redrafting the block for orange crab, and it went together  more easily.  These crabs need eyes which won't be added until after it is quilted. 



This morning I got more Peanuts Christmas fabric to make a pillowcase for my friend's mom who is in the hospital.  Why Peanuts Christmas fabric in July?  Because that is what the lady requested. The only  fabric I used this week were in this king sized pillow case and in 2 blocks for a friend's comfort quilt.
