I usually go for a fat quarter unless the fabric is screaming my name from across the room. Then, it's a half or full meter. If the fabric says backing to me, maybe 1 1/2 - 2 meters. I have been wrong, a lot, in my decision about fabric amount. Especially with my tone on tone cream spider fabric.
Yes, I've been collecting for years. I've been collecting everything Halloween for years.
Oh yes, zombie Bo Peep. Love it. Could even go zombie sheep. We'll convince QuiltE to do a Halloween quilt yet. I can feel her weakening under our spell.
Jolo - keep planning. We'll be here. yes, cute name. Will this be your first great-grandchild?
To keep y'all in the know ... there's a LOT of screaming around W4Me when it comes to fabric!
I think we all have regrets on fabrics that we wish we had bought more.
Right now for me ... it's Monty's border fabric.
And
THANKS to W4Me's screams int he background, I went back and got lots of the background O Canada (lyrics) fabric)!!
As for Halloween ... don't you fret, it will happen! I'm thinking silhouettes, starting with that black witch on an orange fabric. Although it seems to me that I have more than enough OTHER projects on the go!! And all that's happening on the Peep front is a lot of boo-hoo'ing about lack of action. So yes, she truly will be a BOO-Peep!
