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.
