Joes'smom.....I like adding additional fabrics to extend quilt. I'd, also, consider skipping a border all together. I think it would look so cool with just a pieced edge and binding. Of course, yellow is my fav color so more yellow the merrier...lol..
WMUTeach.....beautiful start on the purple quilt. Will be stunning when done.
retiredteach.....most of those fabrics all look like excellent blenders....I don't see them staying in your stash for long.
I bought some toweling yardage to make a project for my MIL. I don't have toweling in my stash and it really fits my idea of what MIL would love. Also, I bought extra to make a runner for myself...so, in and out of stash in 30 days.
