Done! I finished the shoe quilt on the yellow background in a Triple Irish Chain setting. The quilt measures 81x108. I'm debating whether to make shams to match the quilt since I have 2 extra shoe blocks. Came close on the yardage used in the Irish chain, even after buying the extra 1/2 yard of one of the fabrics. I pulled the backing fabric from stash; it was a 10 yard piece purchased on sale several years ago for $2/yard at Hobby Lobby in our previous home town. They used to reduce the price of fabrics after 6 months, which made for some excellent bargains on excellent quality fabrics. I haven't found those bargains at Hobby Lobby for years. Here is a picture of the quilt (almost all of it), and close-up pictures of three of my favorite shoes.
Now back to the funky teapots.
Cute quilt! But I wouldn't want to try wearing any of those shoes myself.
