I just bought two 8 1/2 yd pieces of solids from Connecting Threads (was less than $3/yd!!!). Both of these are for scrap projects (navy as background for bright batiks, and off white for a scrap triangle project) that will allow me to use buckets (I literally have four empty cat litter buckets filled w/ strings and strips) while bringing some unity to the design. Other than this, I have been pretty good.
