I only make scrappy quilts but in a different way than the usual. For my stash I only buy ˝ yd. pieces of tone on tone, Bali fabrics, hand dye or the ones that “read” almost or as solid. When I have a pattern that asks, for example, for 3 yds. of red, I use 6 or more ˝ yd. of the same or close value red. The quilts are more interesting and I never run out of material. If I do … I just go out and buy some other fabric of the same value! I even do that with the backgrounds, specially the printed muslins. Isn’t that smart? Talking about modesty…
