SO I took a Kaffe Fassett jelly roll to retreat with me to work on. Of course I didn't have the right color background and bought 3 yards. Welllll, I sort of messed up on my cutting and instead of cut all the pieces for the 56 blocks in the pattern, I made enough for 80 blocks. Decided to go with a 9x9 and made one more. This means that I now needed to buy 3 more yards of background fabric. ....and since it was Kaffe, I decided to get the border fabric ahead of the game. 13 yards (total) later.......
Then we were given a panel to finish for Quilts for Kids - very pastelly and I have NOTHING to work with it. But the FQ bundle in blues and greens and peaches was the perfect color to go with the panel.
Oh the list goes on. I could pretend to be ashamed and hang my head but I think you could all tell by my big grin that I'd be lying. It was a blast (the retreat and the shopping).
