Then I sorted and refolded and pressed...and near the bottom of the box, a fabric I almost had forgotten, jumped up and grabbed my shoulder and said "I am the sashings, all of them" I had to agree, don't you see, so the first #9 will be controlled scrappy. The second one will be full on scrappy because I will tiptoe up to the green box with a flashlight and find scraps without waking up the yardage.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who fabric talks to. We all know how fabric yells at us in the store but sometimes it gets real quiet at home. I like fabrics that know where they belong whether it's sashing or border. 😇
