Very nice, Iceblossom. I'll have to borrow that idea one of these days.
I too, tripped and fell off the wagon. But I will blame it on my friend. The story is... she and I went to the Hershey Quilt Show last week, stopped by a sewing machine booth and saw a table that would fit our Arias. So I bought the one they had in stock, but Dear Friend had to order hers. She didn't want to pay shipping, and she frequents the area on her dog show trips, so last Friday she said how about a road trip, and I am not one to turn down an offer to get out of the house, so off to York we went, picked up the table and visited a quilt shop just 4 miles down the road. Well, I am not one to turn down a chance to help a shop owner clear out her overflowing stock, especially when it is $6 a yard for Moda fabric, and just happens to fit in with what I have. So I relieved her of 21 yards of nice browns and some greens that will fit nicely with my other Civil War fabrics. And some of it will make a nice backing for said Civil War quilts. So now I am climbing back up on the wagon and try hard to stay on, at least for a while.
