Thank You!!!!!
I needed this thread....thank you so much to whomever started it. I have a problem with fabric......I love it......you can tell a good quality cotton from the feel...The quilt shop is a sensory heaven!.. I also have friends that know that I sew quilts. To them, any piece of fabric is a good thing to pass on to me. I love to start new projects by getting just the right shades and patterns of fabrics. I haven't been able to do that forever because of the guilt I have from the pieces that have been given to me. I have worked through the larger pieces and during a cold winter, I cut enough 2.5 inch strips to make 3 of the ugliest quilts I have ever seen....People thought they were awesome because they were unique......now I have more fabric. I have a banana box (you know, the ones bananas are shipped in) full of 5.5 inch squares. Someone knew someone who loved fabric, too. she bought it when it was on sale at joann's, walmart, wherever and lovingly cut it into these squares, fastened them together, and wrote where it was purchased and how many squares of each color.....but, some of the fabric is not very good quality, the colors are not exciting, and each square was traced with a sharpie so they need trimmed again to get rid of the sharpie. More work to use these than if I went and bought a yard and cut them myself. I just need them to disappear so that I can use MY ideas and fabrics. I think I'll hold a yardsale .............no..........I just can't do that to someone else.........they'll leave next week......I don't know where they'll go......but they'll go....It's time.
