I know there's some fabric at the LQS that would be perfect for a project I'm thinking of...oh do i dare finish the bolt on a sale fabric and get a better discount! Do I really need it? Oh decisions....

Oh you are such enablers...Just sewed the binding onto a quilt I just finished on the LA. It was a scrappy which used 4 1/3 yds of 2" squares, 5 yards of backing, and 3 3/4 yds of binding, sashing and border. A total of 8 3/4 yds of my stash went into this. I'm at a negative 60 1/4 yards for the year...Do I decrease this total? I work tomorrow...will it be there? FYI this is the flimsy before I added a border and binding.

And your quilt is beautiful! Amazing... and all from your stash!! Good going!

oksewglad, that quilt is beautiful.....now I am going to start saving 2" squares! I'm doing good on Not purchasing fabric....but now I'm purchasing notions! Oh well......just a few...needed ones.........then that's it! (Mary Ellens Best Press-on sale, free shipping, Superior threads 2 cones ordered from a longarmer who gets bulk discount and free shipping, and a True Cut 2 rotary sharpener ordered via Amazon ($20 less than I could find anywhere) and.....free shipping......notice a pattern? I just have to stay out of stores! hahahahahah

Thanks, NoraB...above is the tutorial for the quilt. My version is a 4x4 block setting with a 2 inch and 5 inch finished borders. I choose to use a dark sashing. Make some 9P's a 49P and a 3 x 7 patch. Lots of different squares in mine!

Thanks for the tutorial, OK. I've been using 2" squares as leaders/enders and have been looking for a pattern to use!
