Fessing up here. I bought 5 yards of batik. I dumped out my batik scrap box. Most of it is darker. So I bought 2 of the yards for background mixer and 3 yards for borders.
I just got to say that I really enjoy scrolling through many pages of fabric, yummy fabric, to buy just the right shade and color for my quilt. I also really enjoy buying patterns, new quilting books and cheap used quilting books for a fraction of the cost.
