Now that really was a Fantastic Shopping Experience. Not only do you have more than enough fabrics to begin your sampler, the left overs are the beginning of your very own 'stash'. You were very lucky to run into that group of quilters as they gave some very good ideas about how to choose fabrics for your projects and they also invitied you to join them. Make sure that you do as they sound like a very good group to help you along with your quilting. Good Luck, May in Jersey
