Congratulations, JJBlaine. Your granny gifts are all so wonderful. Those booties are the cutest e-v-e-r.... Seriously some fun stuff for the new munchkin. So happy for you...
OMGosh, Rob... Hilarious!!! You've had quite the day....The baste will stick....I have to do that all the time and I have no problems.
I started cutting...all from my stash....a QOV and pulled the fabric panel out to get a gander at it....That panel is huge....way too huge for what I had planned so, plan B...I'm winging it on a pattern and I have just enough....It needs white so I was slinging bolts around and found a bolt of WOW stars. All the stars have aligned. I love it when that happens..

I made a purposeful trip to JoAnn’s today to buy backing for my current quilt. I bought 1 entire bolt plus the yard on another. It looks like it will be a BIG quilt. I also found I’m running out of the sashing fabric so I bought more of that. Unfortunately they didn’t have the exact fabric I’ve been using so I bought some that is very similar. I think it’ll blend well. None of this should go into the stash & all other fabric for the top is from stash.

Rob, I had a UFO that was like that. I still call it the Quilt From Hell; nothing ever worked as planned. After a long break to get the new machine and tables and sell the china and sterling to partially pay for it (and make room),I am finally back working on the diamond log cabin.

Into the lion's den I went. I visited a quilt shop out in the country looking for fish fabric. They have Moda fabrics which the one downtown doesn't. Oh, my. Every one was prettier than the last. What did I purchase? 1/2 yard of fish fabric for a baby quilt - the parents and grandparents are all fishermen. I had planned a fish quilt, but there are Jacob's Ladder blocks in my deceased SIL's stash. I will sew those together for the front and use the fish print with some of my stash on the back. So a total of 18" of fabric bought for one quilt isn't too bad.
Conchalea, my Irish Chain on machine #2 has two separate off whites. I think it will be fine when it's quilted as will yours.

You guys are did great on your recent foray into fabricland.
Conchalea...one bolt for backing?...goodness, that is a big quilt.
Irishrose....I can't wait to see the fish baby quilt. Sounds like a fun theme to play with...
I think I'm going to get 2 QOV out of all the blocks I made (by accident..lol). My math was off so one top will be as planned and the other top a different layout. This makes me very happy since I had 2 veterans on my list to make. Still everything from my stash....very satisfying...
