I was really good and did not order (much as I wanted to) from the Connecting threads Red collection. I did find some green fabrics on sale so bought 2 yards of each of 3 green colors but this is for my '3 okay to buy for' quilts for this year. This one will be for the quilt our guild members will do at our retreat in Sept. I did but some turkey red and dark blue for border fabric for my Americana quilt. I had neither of those colors in my stash. But I am using some orphan blocks in the backing for it so feel good about that. I look at all the sales and then discard the catalog or email. One month down!
