Gemm puppies are so fun and it'll grow out of the needy stage before you know it. Enjoy!
I like the idea of picking backing first. I'll give that a try next time I start a project. I found picking one of my oldest fabrics and picking coordinating fabric very satisfying earlier in the year and that's a good challenge on using my stash.
I haven't purchased any fabric for awhile. Not even my birthday month that just passed. Woohoo!!
I'm currently sewing on three projects, quilting another and have two quilts I want to start when I get a few completed.
Have a good quilt week!
