Well its almost done and I've got a box of pink scraps left over bigger than when I started? So I'm gonna make a second quilt top as soon as I finish piecing this one. I've already decided the pattern and will use the bolt of white on white. I'll post them both when quilted.

Make sure all of ya'll on fabric "diets" check out your local Freecycle. I have gotten yards upon yards of fabric from people getting rid of it.
Still haven't figured out why the would be getting rid of fabric.

And I got 2 yards for orders due on friday, and the new Fons and porter mag. All less than $100. By the way you girls aren't helping my addiction!

I've been making a quilt for my DGD. It all started with the pinwheel project last year. I had my backing all picked out and then changed my mind how I was going to put the pinwheels together. After I got the top done, the backing I'd picked didn't go good with it. I went thru my stash and of course, what I found that went well with it....didn't have enough. I'm like you....I had to go out and buy a new backing for it. :lol: :lol: Frustrating, isn't it? :lol: :lol:
