It isn't my fault!
I was at Queen Bee's today and a wonderful fabric was about to go on the almost free table. it wasn't quilting fabric. But it would make a great tote for our raffle basket so I said i'd make it. When am I supposed to find the time?

I want to do a scrappy kite quilt with the kites & edges all same dark blue. Had to (wink, wink) buy 8 yds navy. Well, I knew I needed more than 5 yards, and I'm getting tired of buying 5 yds, doing the calculations, and being short a yard, so I bought extra.
Also bought yellow background for Bonnie Hunter's Florabunda.
