“Fit to Wear”…I mean “Fit to Frame”…

Yesterday we were driving around Palm Springs and look what I spotted…!!!

I forgot that there are Garage Sales here year round!   Whooppteee-doo!  We ended up going to three before doing some sight seeing. 

I was VERY excited to find these…(ignore my slippers ;o)

I know, I know they are just a pair of men’s pants but they aren’t just ordinary pants…they are 100% wool pants…and they are new..do you see where I am going with these lovely wool, new pants?  Yup…

I need a border and sashing for the Fit to Frame Blocks and I think I’ve found it!!

    So what do you think? I know it’s kind of hard to visualize but they are the perfect colour…the check stripes are a chocolate brown and the background is a medium brown.  I think once I cut the pants into strips and sew it together it’s going to look better than a $130 pair of wool pants! (the price tag was still on the pants.)  OR I could wear the pants like this and let the whole world know that I am a quilter!!  hee hee!  No, I will wash and dry them tomorrow and see what happens.

I also found this…

This wicker basket was calling my name…and for only $1 I had to have it…I’m not sure what I am going to do with it but….hey it was only a buck!

It has an oriental brass clasp on top.  Very cute and it’s sandwiched between two VERY tired dogs.  (There is a dog park here and they went three times today.  Rylie is the hit of the park as she chases every dog there and gets them all going!)

This is the block that I finished last night…only two more to go!!

Have a super Sunday and Happy Quilting!
