I too am guilty of buying fabs for quilts that sit in my stash for years before I make them into a quilt and yes I have also ran out of some. My problem is I constantly modify patterns or don't have any to begin with just pick block designs I like and build out from there.
I didn't prewash any of the flannels. As I said, I couldn't find the directions so it is possible that I added for rows than was called for but other than that, I just don't know. It will be okay. It was just a frustrating day. A difficult learning process. I so want my quilts to be done correctly and have been reaching for that goal. The one thing that I can say is if this worked out then I shouldn't be too upset if something like this rears its ugly head again. Thanks for your support.
