Of course, I usually buy 1/2 yards of any shirting since so many collections just have cheddar, indigo, Prussian blue, chrome yellow, turkey red, double pinks, poison, browns and few if any shirting to go with them!

Some people need to have things match; some people need to see things askew. Accept the differences.

You rarely want to make a whole quilt out of a single shirting print. It's the scrappy look.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-72230009142556801342015-01-29T07:53:03.864-06:002015-01-29T07:53:03.864-06:00Answer to Joy.

Or to find an online shop find a search engine (like Google) type in the words Union Blues Charm and see what comes up.Barbara Brackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948219446078848778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-16565710479828495372015-01-29T07:27:11.433-06:002015-01-29T07:27:11.433-06:00When we find shirtings we just can't live with...When we find shirtings we just can't live without, and seeing that they are often used as backgrounds, how much yardage would you suggest buying, when we have no idea how we might use them.

I have quite a few in my stash, and although I don't "need" any more, I'm always on the lookout for some that really call to me, and I just have to take them home.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503906710582394092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-88978889609919195252015-01-28T17:28:35.189-06:002015-01-28T17:28:35.189-06:00Well, I do have ***plenty*** of shirtings in my st...Well, I do have ***plenty*** of shirtings in my stash ... actually I have ***plenty*** of most everything in my stash.<br /><br />One of these days, maybe you could discuss the change of attitude -- "make it do/it's pretty good" from the previous century vs. "absolute perfection" as the standard for today's quilts. Needless to say, I'm a cut-off-grain, substitute-in-another-fabric, the-scrappier-the-better kind of quilter :) Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597301644404678019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-70895086557127340782015-01-28T13:02:58.350-06:002015-01-28T13:02:58.350-06:00I bought some shirtings and really wasn't sure...I bought some shirtings and really wasn't sure what shirting meant, when looking for prints.
