I agree that the Stash Less series is so very inspirational (I felt pretty silly reading all the posts in just 2 sittings, but it sounds like you might have been similarly drawn in).<br />Here's to living a full, creative life<br />AllaAlla Blancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14239385052577994379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874247466650224560.post-71087684059788521292016-08-06T10:14:16.430-06:002016-08-06T10:14:16.430-06:00I have been saving linen for a few years, mostly f...I have been saving linen for a few years, mostly from barely-used shirts from the thrift store. Linen is so luscious -- smooth, soft, comfortable. I have not yet made an all linen quilt but it's been on my mind for a while. When I finally have enough of the colors I want I'll move forward. I will do a pieced quilt but from what others have said, linen frays, so larger pieces with a 1/2" seam will probably be better than quarter-inch seams. And linen is slippery so I'll need to pin a lot (and use a cotton backing so the quilt won't slide off whoever's under it). Linen is cool in summer and warm in winter and I'm looking forward to a linen quilt.<br /><br />I, too, love the internet and quilt bloggers who share so much. Now, if it didn't take me so long to decide what to do next....<br /><br />I'm going to read the Stash Less posts. I always think of an excess of fabric as part of the preparedness goal. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for this post with the links and your thoughts, Robin.<br /><br />--Nancy.
