My latest offer from equilter is really tempting but although there is much lovely fabric out there, I am ok right now not acquiring it myself I think...

Haven't done a link of anything sewing or fabric related in the last week. Tomorrow is my sewing group day and I will be starting a new/all from stash project. Chevrons I posted earlier, I'm thinking of it as the Grass quilt, and might add in some corn yellows at the top for a color shift. I have a pale daisy I will be using for a consistent background. I've mentioned before that out of the hundreds (yikes - thousands??) of yards of fabric that have gone through my hands, I only really regret one piece of fabric I gave away, and I was testing/working on myself with that one. I had two very similar pieces, similar color, value, theme, yardage, etc. I decided I was only going to keep one and chose the daisies and let the buttercups go. So that was like 10 years ago?? and I am just now using the one I kept and still remember the one I gave away. As I evaluate my fabric nowadays, the "will I actually use in 5 years" is part of the process. But I am using now, so good for me!

Last week or so I went through my 6.5" strip box (that is, my smallest size of scrap I keep) and pulled a bunch of greens and corns from there. I think I will be cutting pieces roughly 3.5 x 12" and my crumb box should get quite a selection in these colors
