Well, I must be frugal. On a wild thought, I posted a 'want' ad on freecycle for any unwanted left over fabric or scraps. Well, it was a landslide. Some of the guild quilters locally gave me a holler and I got some truly nice stuff. I shared it all. Now, I got some 'stuff', too! That never made daylight when using or sharing started. I still have some of the nicest scraps and the more I use of it, the more I find I have. It is unbelievable. I buy very little except the backing. I even take the trimmed off pieces they give me of batting and I use some old sheeting material, spray the adhesive on it and then lay the strips across it and cover it. I trim it up and use it when I sandwich. Works pretty well for me. Be negative, or be aloof, I gotta be frugal. I'm enjoying this site and quilting more than I did anything in my whole life, except my babies. God is Good. ~ Ruth ~
