made two "shakespeare in the Park" quilts years ago in red and gold--matching queen size quilts or Xmas presents for my supervisor (they shared the position). I got one done and was working on second one and ran out of the background fabric. Luckily, family members took me all over town til we found a store that had some. Nothing like having two daughters and a son besides myself scouring the store for an elusive piece of fabric. Once found I bought what they had left on the bolt even though I only needed a yard or so. wasnt taking any chances
