I bought the fabric for the log cabin mostly at a LQS and some at JoAnn's. When I decided to make the bargello a couple of years ago, I bought enough fabric to make that. I ended up changing the dark purple and dark green batiks. I also needed a border fabric for the wallhanging. The center strip of the topper is the border fabric. The topper was made from the left over fabric. I ended up doing a 7 strip strata rather than a 5 strip because I didn't have enough fabric left to do the 5. I'm really glad that I did, because I love it.
