Default Buyers remorse

As an add on to an on-line order I ordered a charm pack to see if I liked the fabric well enough to purchase yardage. Decided I liked the colour palette but print was a bit frou-frou for my tastes. Then inexplicably ordered two more several months later when they were on clearance! Commence searching for pattern which uses three charm packs and find MSQC Tranquil Triangles tutorial. Now on to searching high and low for border fabric, luckily found at clearance price. All the time, effort and $ to make a quilt out of fabric I wasn’t that wild about!

I initially used the same random layout as shown in the tutorial and hated it. Spent hours rearranging HSTs and this is the best I could come up with.

My takeaway? No more precuts unless I have a specific project in mind and purchase all yardage needed to complete the project at the same time.

i do think this will be to my MIL’s tastes and so that is where this is heading.
