And just to prove it, while my house was in chaos I did at least manage to quilt my way to the first finish of the year. This top was only made last year and in the normal course of things would be nowhere near the front of the queue. However, just before the builders came I made a few backs as a precaution. Of course making more than one was an act of pure optimism but I was on a roll. Then I tucked them all ways in a drawer, rolled up with their respective tops, thinking they would be easy to grab as and when I needed them. This was the first one my hand lit on, so it is the one that made it into the hoop. What to say about it? Well, it's the first quilt I've ever made entirely from shirts. This wasn't a deliberate policy and I think there were pieces of quilting cotton in my initial pull, but none of them quite worked in the end, so it was shirts all the way. I haven't done it for a while, but I used quite a lot of button plackets just because it felt like this was a quilt that could take it without descending into tweeness. I also used most of the fabrics used to line the yokes, which is often different from but complementary to the main body of the shirt. The picture bottom right shows a lovely shirt, with a slight sheen. I used the front and the back of the fabric, pretty much without thinking about which way it landed in any given moment. I had enough fabric to keep going (final size is about 67" square-ish) but it seemed to be done so I stopped. Pleasingly, this meant I had enough left to do the back too. This was started on 27th May 2021. Piecing was finished on 1st July. I put it in the hoop during the first week in January 2022 and it was finished on 15th March. The wadding is organic cotton, the threads were what I had, but all perle cotton and mostly no.8. The binding is this lovely wobbly stripe from very old stash. I think maybe it's a Janet Clare fabric? One of the nice things about shirt quilts is that people seem more comfortable with them - they already feel not-quite-new, I suppose. Either that, or my guys have become so used to piles of quilts that they just don't stand on ceremony any more. Either way, within a day of finishing it, I came in to find it had already been put to use and then left, draped rather fetchingly, across a chair. Hooray.

Just like bandanas, kangas have a long history the crosses cultures and continents. Some say that kangas originated in Zanzibar in the late 19th century and were made from cheap cotton imported from the US that was dyed locally with indigo. Others say they were brought to East Africa by Portuguese merchants who wanted to sell and trade the cotton fabrics brought from India. The kanga design is usually made up of 3 parts: the border, the center design and the message or proverb. The message is usually one of wisdom or kindness but there are kangas with political messages and warnings as well. Traditionally these are used as shawls, skirts and even baby carriers but they really can be used for almost anything. I use mine as a scarf and a head wrap. You can use it as a scarf, an apron, a pot holder, as gift wrap (or give as a gift!), a table cloth, a picnic blanket, a beach cover-up or hang it on the wall to make a statement. - 100% Cotton - about 40" x 70" (it's big!) - Imported - Designed in Washington DC - Comes packaged in a two piece gift box
