What's the name of the third one; made in beiges or tans with white? I really like that pattern.
By the way, ladies, when you find fabric that you "just want" for your stash, how much do you usually buy? I'm kind of a newbie, so I'm never sure whether to go ahead and get 3 yards or 2 yards or even 1 yard. How do you judge???

But I know it's not good to complain that he made a nice dinner! I'm very fortunate.

Now for the confession..... I am addicted to buying fabric.
However, I must say my fabric stash is not very large at all. When I buy fabric I usually try to purchase enough to do a quilt and I will NOT leave it in my fabric tote I have to cut it up and have it ready to be sewn. And let me just say it worries me to death when its laying in my sewing room and hasn't been cut. I loose sleep over it!!! Finally when its cut I can bounce back and forth from project to project until its finished. (I'm going to make another post listing all of my current projects, maybe if I share their status I'll hurry and finish them.) After a year of this madness the projects are really building up on me!!! And my fabric shopping addiction is not slowing down :)

that's funny....both of the above! While rearranging a "stack" of quilt tops waiting to be finished, I spotted a plastic bag and rediscovered a large print Asian fabric that I obviously had bought for another OBW...yup, I'm addicted to them also. I had completely forgotten about it and it got buried!
Will have to wait until I finish at least three WIP. Must hurry since I've got 6 more QFK's kits due to arrive on the 6th.
:-P :thumbup:

Maybe in my next life the pick will be different... ;-)
