Need to replenish my supply of blacks. I may trade some bright colored fabrics with my neighbor as she has plenty of blacks/whites...will see how she feels about that.
The inspiration for my next project is in the link below...first pic.......thank you, mayme.

Hi burnsk.
Mayme called the quilt Bright Blocks for Brooke.
I don't know the pattern name. I will be winging it...just going by the picture.
It does look like a pattern from Quilter's Cache called Squares within Squares 2, although the center square is a bit different. Mayme used a 4-patch for the center instead of a solid color.

I was out of town and finishing a quilt. So I purchased 1/3 yard for the binding. All my other purchases have been thread or batting. So far so good. I am slowly making room in my sewing room. I REFUSE to spread past it.

joining.
totally went crazy with fabric & such when I came back into quilting in March.
I have several projects in mind. I should have all I need to finish them. I may need to buy some solid backgrounds. Maybe not.
Looked at budget yesterday to see if there was scootch room to buy something in classifieds, spotted "$48.00" storage payment. The storage shed is 5 x 10 x 8. Filled to the ceiling with FABRIC and crafts. :shock: :shock: :shock:
I could go "shopping" and not spend a dime. :oops:
No new fabric until the shed is emptied. :cry:

gah. Shopped at the shed, brought home 1 18 gal tote of blankets & fabric, sweaterbox of lace etc notions, a duffle with a Q UFO 25th anniversary gift for BFF dunnamany years ago, a banker's box of sewing notions & new artist canvases, a 15x12 box of empty boxes & bins. Cardboard is tossed, all is trashbagged & dated (until the spiders die).
THEN I STILL went to JoAnn's. Debbie Mumm 50%, bought 2 1 yd pcs for baby quilts, I had 2 50% coupons, bought 1 yd complimentary blender of another not on sale Quilt fabric. bought 1/4 yd strip, saving up for card trick. I never buy less than 1/2 yd (yay, me!). Have two baby gifts coming up & have no suitable fabric.
:shock: :? :roll: 8-)

But I think I really should join this moratorium. Just went to a QS that is closing and all fabric is 30% off. Did I ever get in trouble!
