The pink fabric in the center is a favorite! Not only because it gorgeous, but because it has a quaint story behind it. This is fabric from a pair of men's Boxer Shorts. I found these in the Men's Department of a large local department store, where this fabric just caught my eye.
The boxer shorts were a Mitch Dowd design and were made from 100% cotton fabric. I really could not justify purchasing them just for the fabric, but when they were still there for the end of season clearance sale I snapped them up. (The men at my house would refuse to wear pink/floral underwear!). Of course, I purchased the largest size available so as to maximize fabric quantity. I unpicked all the seams, and took out the elastic. I have since been able to use small amounts of this fabric in several of my quilts!
I am always on the look out for fabric!
