you were probably thinking the same thing i thought when i bought some of the stuff i find in my own stash.
now, of course, the question is how to make a quilt i like from fabrics i don't.

good thing i like a challenge. lol

I put drawings or a copy of a pattern with fabric like that. Because otherwise I'd forget it's even there.

Mine would say "what are you waiting for, get me out and cut me up" or some would say " when are you going to finish making this project you started with me"

Maybe it should talk to us. I know I would get more done just to quiet the noise.

I Usually buy with a pattern in hand... or I'll see something on display at a LQS, and buy the pattern and the fabrics, take it home, and put it with the gazillion other "kits" I've done like that!!

So, I guess my fabric would say "Hi, come sit around with the rest of us" whenever I stuff a new project in with the rest!!
