That is certainly a help!
I have coupons to separate and mail, and then hubby has been home sick - - tomorrow is chiropractor and DR visit, while surviving below 0 temps and trying to figure out how to dig out of the snow drifts.
The last time we were out, we stopped at the thrift store and I scored BIG on the pink front - - a ballroom dress of some kind - - or was it a summer formal? at any rate, all cotton for $2.99.
when the coupons are done, then I plan on going through six containers of fabric that I see a bit of green and pink, and even some brown ... when I get it all gathered, I will post a picture here, and then, get to work on cutting two inch strips!
If the quilt had been a bit more scrappy (do you hear the whine in my voice?), I have a BIG container of strips cut in all sorts of sizes, but <sigh> was not to be this time. Bummer!
Oh, well, the adventure is beginning, and that is exciting!
Have a grateful Thanksgiving, everyone <wave>
