@Iceblossom &
@Gemm Thank you for your input. Relieved on the go ahead to use the greens, as I don't have all my HST cut and am on scraps. I did have an appropriate half yd green arrive this week. (I have to hang my head in abject shame over in the fabric moratorium later due to massive influx.) Sadly, I need to cut something like 96 more and thus the overall quilt will have way more of the new fabric than any of the others, so I really didn't want to eliminate those already cut HST. There's another green half yd, but it is a tad lighter, still olive. I may use it anyway. You know how it goes.
This quilt is an attempt to use up a pile of Connecting Threads' FQ bundles from the 2010's called Canterbury. The reds & navies. The navies are kaput, and I had to cut 8" off a solid bolt to finish up what I needed for the quilt.
One of my (not CT) reds was like one of yours Ms Ice, perfect red, but these huge 1-1/4" beige flowers all through it. I left that one out. I will have reds left over when I've finished cutting.
I have zero idea on the timeline nor source of the neutrals. There is not near enough variety in them, and have ordered in a pile of half yards from Whittles. I was trying to sew a sashing block and the few neutrals I had are distinctive enough I couldn't finish one sashing, just too many neutrals in one sash. I'm waiting for the order with baited breath so I can move forward.
Thankfully glad I've almost done in the mustards as well. I mean, it goes & you need color variety, just not my favorite color. Says I, and there it is in the two liv rm side chairs, the red couch fabric AND in the plaid curtains. hahaha
So the plan was to use up those fabrics, and I needed to order more to make the quilt? How's that work? Kinda sounds like a scam. Yea, that's the ticket. Quilting is just one big scam. I kill me, I really do.
There's this other civil war fabric basket, rejects for this quilt, which I want to use up. I may have mentioned over on the "other challenges" thread. I plan to cut em up into Jambalaya:
