    Went to JAs yesterday. Their remodeling looks to be almost complete. Clearance mdse is in FRONT of the store. Not good for this shopper.

    I did find in one fabric collection of charm packs, jelly rolls, and fat quarters! Bought two of each and came up to $30.00. So have have 2 jelly rolls w/ 20 strips each, 2 charm packs w/ 30 pieces each and 2 fat quarters w/ 5 pieces each. Looks like 5 diff fabs that all coordinate.

    Problem? No idea what to make. Haven't been this compulsive for a long long long time. I'm an experieced quilter so any ideas you guys hit me with, I can interpret. I usually buy yardage and I think that's why I stymied. Hope this link loads. Yep..loaded but colors really are pettier than shown.

    Love the fabrics you picked. It's always hard for me to decide on a pattern too. I see circles with these though.

    be sure to preshrink with hot iron, their fat quarters are noted for high shrinkage

    Hi Julie,
    While adding it all up in my head I thought what about making a reversible quilt of some kind??
    Just a thought :)
    Love those fabrics!
