I had a wonderful start to my work day. Lyndon brought in the fabric from Ghana that he got me. Ready to see what I got? First of all, I went with the six different types of fabric in one bag that he mentioned. The length of the fabric is a little over 1 yard (around 46") but the width is only around 18". It's a different way to cut the fabric. One of the girls in the office mentioned it was probably cut that way for when the women would want to wrap their hair/head. That makes sense. I'm not going to give any of it back. LOL.

| This looks like a table runner to me! |
 |
| I'm thinking of leaving this as is and just quilting around the motifs. Possibly some trapunto. |

| I have a couple of yards of this material. |

| One section. The next picture shows another section. |

| Don't know why it flipped on me. The lines go vertical. Then there is another section like the previous picture.
Well that's my show n tell for today. Hope you all liked it as much as I did looking at it.

Lovely fabric!!
I should say....fantastic.
Thanks Esther and Billie. I'm thinking of doing a zipper quilt with all those blues but I'm in a hexie mood also so who knows.
Thanks Sandi. I love the ladder stitch. You are right. I'm using some of the those colors I was given in a sewing kit that I won't normally use to baste the hexies with. :)
Love the blues in the top pic the best !!! All pretty !!!
I agree with you Marsha. I LOVED the blues. I think it took all of 2 seconds for me to decide on those. LOL.
