LOL, great minds think alike, Sarah. I have just got a warmer batik for cornerstones and binding, just to add a little bit of colour, and that will do me. Have you considered somewhere like Thousands of bolts for your sashing if cash is a consideration, they seem to have good prices to me, but then all of the USA prices seem good to me compared to what's in the shops here. Even with shipping, USA prices are often cheaper. What is more, I have never seen a price reduction on fabric in my LQS in the almost 10 years she has been trading. I don't even recall her having a general sale.
