This was a drape and even though it is not, it has the look, feel and weight of a fine silk duponii and is the perfect color for backing the cottage blocks.
The cottage blocks were CQJP2014 and have been languishing.. I originally intended to make books of them then decided to make a quilt, then a book and then a quilt etc. But finally it is a book again... for sure! I got the pieces cut yesterday and made the images for the backing. Plan to embellish backing with SRE and proverbs about home.
You see the arrow pointing to the black racks on a side table where I had been keeping them and all the space beneath was wasted. Now I can move the side table out and slide the shoe rack/paint caddy into place. I will keep extra bushes and supplies in the bottom basket. It wasn't tippy but I felt it needed a little more weight on the bottom. So I added a barbell weight from a collection of thrift store weights I keep in the barn to hold down tarps etc.
The side table is actually one of my several wheeled bedside tables and my favorite one to use as a impromptu mobile ironing surface so I am glad to have it available again.
AND when I got up this morning DH gave me a big hug and says "How's fubsy this morning?" Grrrrrrrrrrrr....but the hug was really nice.

You must feel great to be getting the cottage blocks in the finishing stage. Nice to cross a completed project off the list. Your paint rack looks great :)
I look forward to seeing the book when it is done. Watching you create these blocks was delightful. :)
what a wonderful book your crazy blocks will make. I do visit the charity shops but so far have not had much success but who knows what I might find tomorrow
