I took a giant leap off the moratorium wagon this week.....OOPS! I thought I was so clever.......I made another string quilt and with the left-over fabric, I figured I'd sew the strips and then cut into 12" squares to see how many I got. Well, I got 8 of them.....so decided I needed to make a Project Linus quilt with them and of course my stash just wouldn't do.
So, off to Joann Fabrics -- sale on flannel 60% and I needed 4 yards for 1 previously made string quilt, 4 yards for the second string quilt and probably 4 yards + 2 yards for the Project Linus quilt. Stopped at my LQS and purchased 4 yards, ran into JoAnn's and purchased 6 yards total...........So, 14 yards in 2 days........OOPS!
And, I was just trying to make gifts and cut down my stash! ! ! Now, I realize I'm on a hamster wheel and there is no such thing as "cutting down my stash" by making quilts....you always need that little piece to make it "pop", or you need fabric for border, binding, backing (the 3 B's)!
So, hmmmmmmmmmmm......I've gotta rethink my logic!
