I'm on a fabric diet, trying to use up my stash and my scraps. Two scrap totes full means its time to make a scrappy. Tons of pink, so I decide to do a awareness quilt. Pulled out all the pink and all the white, and white on white. Well guess what, I dont have enough white and I've none in my stash! I've got cream on cream, tan on tan, but no white and no white on white. I'm half way through peicing this 96x96 blushing beauty and now I need to go shopping. Kinda defeats the whole reason for making the quilt. Might as well just buy a whole bolt with Joanns half off. No matter how hard I try to be a good girl the universe and the powers that be have another plan....I like it!

Lol sounds like me!!

I kinda feel your pain. I thought I had a fairly decent stash and decided it was time to just sew it all up & get it out of here. Well, then I start trying to coordinate some blocks and it seems like I really don't have all I need & I need to shop some more! Very frustrating!

Why is it that there seems to always be at least ONE piece that you lack????

Yea, but I bet it's gonna be one pretty quilt! Can't wait to see!

You are well intentioned and that is what counts.

Buy the bolt, buy the bolt buy the bolt! :)

I too am on a fabric diet and only buy fabrics needed to finish a project, and this after I have searched the stash. Get what you need, it is a good cause.

There seems to always be some reason we have to go to the LQS. And, it's very hard to just buy what we need for that project. I am getting better!
