I made 2 purchases. They fell into the "really good sale" category.

One was the main color for a Jane Stickle quilt (aka Dear Jane). I bought 10 yards of batik. I hope that is enough. All the other bits had been purchased previously (and on sale too).

The other purchase was a bit extravagant. Only because I didn't have a dedicated WIP to assign it to. I bought 2 jelly rolls - they had 26 strips per roll (not the usual - that's why I bought 2). The after sale cost worked out to be about 1/8th(!) of the retail price. Woohooo!

Lots of other good quilt fabric sales have come and gone. Oh I've been sooooo tempted yet I've remained strong :)

Slightly off topic, I bought 10 sewing patterns last week from Butterick, McCalls and Vogue. Butterick and McCalls were on sale for $1.88 each. The 1 Vogue pattern I bought was $3.88. Couldn't go past that sale.

I'm still hand quilting my log cabin quilt. I've been doing a little here and there, about 5 hours a week. It should take me about 1 - 2 years to finish.
