Well, I did fall off the wagon. I've been so good and so proud of myself. I joined this group in Jan. and have not purchased anything quilt related...until last week. About a yr or so ago, I started putting together a quilt made up of about 5 (got them at a great price) charm square packs. I bought yardage from the same line for cornerstones and borders. I bought Moda Primitive Muslin to sash halfway around each charms and started putting them together. I was very excited. I took pictures of different layouts so I could decide how I wanted to put the whole thing together. Sometime between when I sashed and cornerstoned 1/2 of the 225 charms and now, I thought the outcome was going to be too busy for me. In the last several months, I find that I need lots of neutral space in my work. So, I "unsewed" all those little sashings and cornerstones and ironed down all the charms. Now, I'm creating flying geese (Ricky Timms way) with columns of neutral. And of course, I don't have enough neutral. Missouri Star had the Moda muslin available as 108" backing, so I naturally fell off the wagon..and since shipping was still only $5, I decided to buy the daily special and a ruler. Not too bad....right?
