Great going, folks. Kudos to those who stayed the course and admiration to those who showed constraint. To those who went overboard -- I'm in your camp.
September was my birthday month and earlier in the month JoAnns had FQs for 70% off plus 70% off their quilters basic fabrics. Plus I had a 25% coupon on everything. FQs ended up 56 cents each -- I purchased 16. Then I filled in the lacks in my stash with 5 two yard cuts. I added a few spools of thread. My total was $34.00. Not bad at all.

But the real find was a 15 yard bolt of tea dyed muslin on Amazon for $3.44. Yup. $3.44 for the whole bolt. I figured it was definitely mis-priced and kept waiting for the seller to cancel the order. But I got notice this week that it had shipped and should be here Thursday. That will make 4 or 5 quilt backings. I'm doing the happy dance and now wished I'd ordered two bolts at that price.
