I didn't have a pattern, so I bought what I thought I would need. Then, I found the pattern put out by Timeless Treasures. Because of the way the borders are cut, I didn't have enough of the wave fabric for the lengthwise border, so had to go back for more. Since I already had a piece large enough for the cross borders, it allowed enough extra to make another quilt. So I bought another panel.
I bought the floral panel just because it's beautiful. And again, I didn't have a pattern for it. But once I found one, I went back for another panel, so I could use up the supporting fabrics.
So, no, I didn't have a plan. All the fabric came from an off price outlet, so it seemed reasonable to buy two at the time. I knew I would never find those fabrics again.
Now my plan is to make some of these quilts and to quit buying fabric until I use what I already have.
