I have not been tempted by any of my “oh, I think my LQS will have something that works better” as I prepare fabric for an exchange. I just have worked with my stash and said to self I am sure it will work out fine.
I am am worried about having enough of a theme fabric. I saw lots of sellers of it online and won’t buy unless I NEED it if running out while finishing quilt.
So hard. However, I just prepped 19 F8 all from stash in B/W prints.

Well done, Darcyshannon..... I have dug into my outrageously expansive polka dot stash for a new project as well as my stripes and solids, which were equally getting out of control. My sewing nook looks like a bomb exploded bubbles...lol...

In preparation for the grand moment when my cast was removed, I've been planning fabric for projects. Today, it happened, the cast was replaced by a removable brase. So I went to the LQS for the background....and that's all I bought. The had the most unique and fabulous butterfly print. I walked past it. I'm so proud of myself. It took a lot of will power to have self-control not to buy and buy and buy. The cost isn't important. The point is I first shopped my stash, then bought only what was needed to fill in. YEH!

We need a like button. I, too, say good for you on both counts. Casts are wonderful because they facilitate healing, but getting them off is lovely, too.
