Hi Michael. I was doing just fine on a personal No-Buy challenge and shopping stash until I came up with a brilliant idea and needed purples, of which I had almost none. I needed a LOT of different purples and of the right hue - the bluey-purpley kind not the redder kind. My local shops didn't have much if any of a selection and now I've got an entire gigantic tub of mostly purples from online. That's how it happens for me. Up until now I've been using the leftovers from a larger quilt in a second smaller one, but I don't think that will work for me this time. I'm sure I can get three California kings out of the leftovers from this project.
