Well, it wasn't so bad after all. Those two more boxes of fabric.
Roughly half of what I found was not quilt-able. Old upholstery fabric, from re-covering a previous set of chairs, long since gone to Goodwill. (And the rubberized undercoat of the cloth long gone stiff and nasty.) A couple of kinds of fleece, from pseudo-sweater tops. A bag of pre-quilted fabric scrap, made into a winter jacket for Denise. Clothes to repair from so long ago that they no longer even fit.
Lots of trash, in other words.
By the time I finished sorting and ironing, I had the stack on the left. A busy morning measuring and cutting left me with the stacks of strips on the right. Still a little scrap fabric left over, but I think that's enough for now. Tomorrow, I'll do some sewing. And maybe boil and dye some eggs.
