I learned to create better from what I have and not always looking at what's new and trendy....I tend to be traditional anyway. The other benefit is I did have fabric I would never use but didn't know that until I was challenged .... now those are happy in a new home where they are appreciated!
Now I have 12 new quilts from a stash I didn't think had one AND I am planning that first shopping spree....SO EXCITED!
Same result .... different approach!
That is so true! There are so many fun, and inventive quilts in my stash, just waiting for me to make. I don't want to offend those old fabrics, just sitting there, waiting patiently, and bring in some fancy, new ones. It might hurt their feelings.
