This happens to all of us (smile). Nice that you had a small stash that allowed you to complete a project you liked. Looking forward to seeing pics of your finished projects with the "switched" fabric (smile).

I frequently have a change to a fabric selection... Thats how my stash got so big. The LQS near me has terrible lighting... so if its not a nice bright day outside to double check the colors... I can end up with a no so great choice . When I make a bargello that has over 18 or so fabrics I always buy 20 ... as I will get home study them for a few days .. repositioning ... and a few just don't make the final cut..
Most shops will take back cut goods. Many have a policy it has to be over 1 yard. |
LOL, I do that all the time.
|
The ONLY time fabric is assured a place in my quilt is when it has been placed, stitched, loved on and given away! Anything else is subject to change...giggle!
|
Yep - I do that a lot. Probably more than my DH would like, but it makes my stash happy... Eventually the fabric will find a use. I have found in my limited time quilting, that if a fabric combination is not singing with me, then I have a harder time finishing the project.
Cheers, K |

Yup, I've done that. My stash is large enough that I can't remember all of it, especially not the details. So sometimes I buy something only to find I had a better match already. Heck ... sometimes I buy something only to find I already HAD the SAME something!

I actually do it rather frequently. I'm famous for picking out border fabric for quilts when I buy the block fabrics and then changing my mind. Therefore, I have a respectable stash of 3 yard border fabrics.

all the time.............................................. ................

To me the lighting is different at LQS than at home or I have had a little more time to think things over but I will change or even add fabric as I go along. A quilt takes on a life of it's own I have even made changes after I have started making a quilt. In the end I just want to be happy with my project.

My mood or different lighting, can easily make me change my mind :) :) :)
