Taking Care of 30's Reproduction Stash

My work this week has focused on reducing and doing away with my huge 30's reproduction stash. I had a dresser drawer full and am now ready to move onto other fabrics and leave this one behind. To do this I am making one last quilt, a string quilt, and then cutting up pieces and putting it into other places in my fabric stash as it fits. Some will be donated to our quilt show boutique and some sold at a fabric
"garage sale" in June.

String blocks in progress. I am using muslin squares 10 1/2 inches as stabilizer.

Here is the back side to see the muslin. It helps to keep the bias stabilized.

The first finished block. I am using a white background 3 inch in the center of each block hoping to create an interesting design when the blocks are laid out.

2 1/2 inch, 2 inch, and 1 1/2 inch strips for scrap quilt stash.

5 inch squares, more 2 1/2 inch strips and quarter yard pieces.

Some bigger pieces waiting their turn for the cutting table.

The last pile to be pressed and cut. The dresser drawer is completely empty.
