I've spent the last several years and a lot of money on stash building. I've made several tops, sent a few out for quilting, but now it's time for me to either do more hand quilting or learn to machine quilt them myself.
I know my grandmother did not spend a fortune on fabric but she sure made a lot of quilts. Most of them were scrappy. All were hand quilted. She must have found a large lot of solid pink fabric for really cheap because she used that in several quilts as sashing and backing. She rarely went shopping ever, because she lived miles from the nearest town, and I doubt they had a fabric store anyway, probably just a general merchandise store, plus she didn't drive. She made do with what she had. Not that we can't splurge once in a while. :lol:
