THEN I decided to make the jacket - actually started it already - and went back to Joann's to get another bundle - and yes, you guessed it - I tried 3 Joann's and couldn't get the same bundle. Since I had already started it I had no choice but to buy another bundle with semi- same colors. So therefore I had 10 colors and was glad in the end because it gave me more choices when picking up pieces. Even then I kept thinking "I just used this color". Then I even bought different fabric for the binding - so 11 fabrics all told!
Warning - ask me a question and your guaranteed a LONG answer. I never have short answers - LOL!
PLEASE keep us posted on your jacket. I'll be so anxious to see how it's going. What color sweatshirt are you using and what color fabrics.
I already have TWO bundles of fat quarters for the next one - probably in the winter. I'll use a black sweatshirt and the bundles are all black and white with just a touch of gold. They were sooo pretty I couldn't pass them up.
