My summer project is to make tops from what I have. So far, I've made 2 tops, have another one ready to put together, and am peicing a 4th. I already have planned what I'm going to do with the scraps. I'll quilt them when the weather cools off. I'm finding fabric I forgot I had, or was bought to make who knows what. We'll see how many I can do by the end of summer. I know I have the fabric for the backs, and the batting. I stocked up with the coupons from JoAnns and Hobby Lobby.Every time they put out a 40 or 50 % coupon, and I could afford it, I bought batting, or a wide back.
I won't spend anything unless I run out of thread. Who knows, I might finish off my Christmas list early this year.
Being thrifty isn't just about saving money, it's using what you have wisely. I believe some scrap quilts are more beautiful than the designer quilts.
