I jumped off of the wagon 2 times in the past 8 days because I purchased fleece to finish fleece blankets for an event this fall. I will probably need to make one or two more purchases before I have enough fleece. I was given larger pieces of fleece that I sew to remnants to make a 54" long top and then I choose a 'backing' fleece so I can fringe and tie them into one blanket.

I got around 31 yards of fabric for 117 dollars so that will allow me to finish about 15 to 20 quilts depending if I use some of the new purchase on the fronts to get the 54".

My friend and I will split the cost so that definitely helps the pocketbook. But I did save a whopping 177 dollars! It helped to have a 25% off coupon for the entire amount last week and my teacher discount this week. Lol.

Now to find a place to store the fleece until I have time to start sewing/fringing/tying.
