Well, I figure that I should hit my stash first before I buy anything else. I'm beginning to think that I WON'T have to buy anything except the fabric for my border applique and for the backing. Who knows, if I look hard enough, I just might have something for the borders tucked away in the "black hole" -- aka my stash!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I might even be tempted to do a scrappy backing that would use all of the fabrics I put in the top! It would look pretty odd, but it would certainly be quite the record of my journey with this quilt!! :-D :-D
