I was going to do my blocks from my stash. But I was out of town, which means SHOPPING! (nuthin' where I live). I needed a 3 1/2" template, so went to a JoAnns. All their calico was on sale! And there were several bolts of B&W that were close to empty, which means they gave me the last 3/4 of a yard of each at 75% off. So, needless to say, I have a bigger variety to work with now. I've made a couple of sample blocks, and am trying to make up my mind!!!
