About 4 or 5 years ago these bandanas were available..........
at Hobby Lobby. A friend of mine got some for $1 but I paid a little more when I got mine. They are a very good quality of fabric too. My friend had cut one up with her Strips 'n Curves templates and had it in the sample quilt at a quilt shop advertising her class.
I have encouraged my art quilter friends to play with me at our Sept. meeting in designing a quilt using just these 3 template shapes. I was able to get 4 of each of these from one bandana. This is all that is left after cutting.
I found this batik on sale at equilter.com last year for under $5 a yard. I am going to play with this one now and see what interesting pieces I can cut from it. I have seen a lot of quilts made with similar shapes in magazines, books, and on the Internet. I don't know if they are using Louisa's templates or not. My plan is to cut shapes from a lot of interesting fabrics and then start playing with them on the design wall. I'm sure I will have some pieces to share with the art quilters after I see which ones I will be using.

I forgot to mention yesterday that my friend said my quilts look a lot different in real life than they do in pictures (and she meant that in a GOOD way, LOL). There is such a depth to some of the quilts because of the fabrics used and they just don't photograph well. I always keep that in mind when looking at other person's quilts on blogs too. I guess that is why quilt shows are so important. You can see the real beauty in person there.
