It really seems as though we’re honing our fabric gathering skills because, in my opinion, we just keep getting better and better fabric!
There wasn’t much question about what kind of fabric we should try to get from Scotland. Â It had to be a tartan. Â I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to find, but we were lucky. Â As we walked down the street in Edinburgh we noticed a little kilt shop, and right outside there was a large basket of odd bits of tartan which were left over from making the kilts! Â This was perfect since we just wanted a little piece and we could pick colors we liked. Â This isn’t a pattern related to our family or anything, but we thought it was pretty sweet.

And the England fabric is even better!!! Â My aunt, who I will speak about in the post about Oxford, allowed us to pick through her fabric and take a piece that we like. Â I’m so pleased about this because when I see it in the quilt I will think of her. Â The design seems to fit what I think of when I think about English designs as well, so this is one of my favorite bits collected so far!
