Krista..... That is a stunning quilt. So colorful and the border fabric looks awesome with it. Good find!
Rob.....geesh....go shopping, already, before that coupon expires.![Big Grin](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
I received another text from my LQS about reproduction backing fabric sale. She's killing me...

Happy Birthday to all the July celebrants! I love seeing everyone's work.
Pet: I love that star quilt!
Krista: your OBW is lovely. That final border just makes the quilt! I've made several, but have never included the hollow cubes (but it's on my list!).
Minor victory, just drove past the salvation army without stopping for their friday clothing sale. Love to recycle shirts, but it's still added fabric.

Krista: OBW is stunning! So inspiring and on bucket list. I drove right past the local thrift shop (25% off Senior Discount on Thursday) as I have too many shirts already destructed and ready to sew. I have been making yo-yos for a pillow but needed a background fabric. Finally found it at Fabric.com and when I opened the package- Woohoo- I hit the Jackpot as they call it. My order of 1 yard was from the end of the bolt piece - 58 inches- so a 22" bonus as no charge and this was a 108" piece.

AUQuilter.....wow...that is quite the deal.... That is a lot of free fabric for 108". Good for you!
Paperprincess...good restraint...treat yourself to an ice cream cone....lol!! (Fabric and ice cream are my downfalls so I just assume it's everyone else's too. ..oh yea...donuts and brownies come in a close second..).

Wow, AUQuilter! Congrats on your free fabric! We don't find that very often.

The lqs's owner had surgery for Ca ~ 1 yr ago. She had surgery, then complications, treatment, pt, more tests and complications,etc. The area's quilters are close knit and have been helping her all this time. The store even had to move and it got done by volunteers. The store hasn't been getting much new fabric & classes are not happening. A call has gone out for teachers for classes. So I stopped by and offered to teach a class. Because many of their customers want to copy the class sample, they want the sample to be made from store fabrics. So I bought fabric for a quilt I probably won't keep...... So, did I fall off the wagon? I added some of my stash to make it more scrappy.
I've already spent 5 hrs making 4 patch to make strips 60" wide. Next I'll made the houses, then the roofs. I'd like to get the top finished this week and the sample into the store.

I haven’t finished quilting it yet, I’m at the center but here’s a picture of my latest— completely from the shelves, nothing purchased for this quilt except the backing- which is a wide back on sale.
I’ve made a dent- not much left in purples.
