I finally went to Home Fabrics and got some flannel backed vinyl to make my new improved design wall. I took my flannel quilt down and got my new design wall up. It is big enough to really lay out my liberated houses. I have all the house blocks up, and most of the sashing up. I ran out of my cute little car fabric. I needed just enough to do three more city blocks of roadway. I called four quilt shops and visited two today. I found more of the black with white dashed lines at Quilt Expressions, so I bought the rest of the bolt. I had high hopes that Nancy's would have some, but I cannot get a hold of her. My Husqvarna is in the shop, so I don't want to start sewing my rows together yet, as I don't think the quarter inch on this Necchi will be the same. I want to sew them all on the same machine to avoid any sashing-matching-up issues. I did design the outside sections this morning and pieced my grain silos that are going next to the rail road tracks.
Yes, I only discovered I need grain silos this morning. It is going to be awesome, but I have to really get to work on it, so I can have it completed before I go to NYC in June. I am soooo excited! I should have my Husqvarna back Monday after work. Yeah!
