Woot QuiltnNan!

I checked my store on Tuesday and there were still maybe 100 bolts left. Picked up a couple of precut packages (5 fat quarters for $1) and maybe 15 yards. Had a chat with my crumb quilter here who ran to her local store but missed out, so I went out on Wednesday and picked up a bit more. There were already significantly less bolts from the day before and less after I went away again... Picked up about 20 yards mostly polka dots but that included some more for me too. When I fall off the fabric moratorium wagon, I fall hard -- but at $1 yard, it was worth a bruise or two.

In my most recent project, I've been working with a large bag of scraps I got from the Goodwill, most are Walmart and Joann fat quarters. It varies on a piece by piece basis, but I was surprised how much I liked working with some of the Waverly Fabrics. It seems I like the ones that include the term "Screen Printed" on the selvedge. Some of the trendier fat quarter fabrics I didn't care for the feel as much.
