I have a hard time with the idea that I need to go out and buy a lot of fabric to make a quilt, particularly a mystery quilt. When I saw the supplies needed for the Summer Mystery Quilt from Laundry Basket Quilts (fabrics and 1 background, total 10 yards), I balked. I like to use my stash and just buy a little fabric at a time to fill in the missing parts. I think it is probably like fooling yourself that snacking means fewer calories consumed than big meals.
