sometimes I play a game with my self. I select a pattern to sew and the rule is......I have to use what I have for every thing. I don't allow myself to buy anything for the quilt. I have even gone so far as to call a retreat for the weekend with my mother and my sister and I furnish all the fabric. When I close the door on the sewing room, IT MULTIPIES ALL BY ITS SELF> GOOD LUCK.
