Today I swung by the Goodwill next to my grocery store and found basically a bolt of fabric for $14. I've cut it into two pieces (one a bit over 6 yards, the other closer to 7) and am sending it in the boxes of small scraps I'm sending to people. While crumbs may be nice, sometimes we need a piece big enough for a back!
This purchase doesn't count against me it is going straight out of the house and not anywhere near my stash.
Today I sewed some of the 2.5" squares into units for the border of the Not Quite Y2K/flying square quilt. Tomorrow at small group I'll count up what I have and how many more I'll need. Think I'm close. Or at least I hope I'm close.

No fabric purchases for me in Feb except for what was needed to finish stuff. I pulled out my vintage fabric stash and working on blocks for another quilt. Have no plan on layout and the blocks are paper piece designs I have liked and collected just because. Just fun blocks to work on when I have a couple hours to sit...

Oksewglad: I was wondering if it was the family with twins. Busy is right!
Belfrybat: You did use a lot of fabric in February! Way to go!
Iceblossom: A very nice gesture of sending bigger fabric with the smaller pieces.

Welcome aboard Plee. I have been lurking on this thread since January and love reading how disciplined everyone is. I had purchase a handful of FQs while at QuiltCon in Nashville last week for a class that I was lucky enough to get enrolled in. I am currently working on a project and using up scraps from my bin of strings...

Go for it Teen! I've had some Sterlite plastic drawer units and I figured out what size would best work for the drawers. I wanted them as high as could be without getting stuck. You can customize the size to fit your needs and would suggest you to plan them accordingly. Make a small one to get the feel of technique.
This was the first pattern I tried and use them on my bedroom armoire shelves to hold unmentionables etc.

I haven't tried these, but thought they looked great.

I can't remember where I found the pattern for the drawer baskets, but I really like them. I'll try to take a pic and figure out how I did it. This is the kind I will make for my project bins.
