Help! I dug out a quilt (king size) that I started two years ago. I don't have enough fabric to finish the top. Either I used some of it, didn't buy enough in the first place, or lost it among the rest of my stash. I have enough for about 58 inches, but not the 95 inches I need. What can I do? it is a bargello type sew as you go.

Don't know what to tell you about your not having enough fabric. That has happened to me, and I don't remember what I did.

But welcome to the board from a Minnesota born Missourian.

Welcome! I have never done a bargello so I can't help much. Would it be possible to turn it into a queen?

Maybe just do a smaller quilt in the original design and add borders?

Maybe post the fabric and ask for anyone here to check their stash and share?
