If I am not in love with a fabric anymore, it spends time there as well.

Now, when I will get to that project, I don't know, but hoping to make progress on it by year's end.Tami Von Zalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065017061040785838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648491809254365804.post-27447866332352981012019-07-11T04:41:05.485-07:002019-07-11T04:41:05.485-07:00Thanks for sharing your thought process for fabric...Thanks for sharing your thought process for fabric purchases.

Find that often, if I see a quilt pattern that truly calls my name, the yardage requirements for background fabric is always more than I’ve purchased, so I’ve increased the amount I buy on sale to have on hand 3.5 or 4 yards.

I'll get 2-3 yards of a neutral that will be a good background to bring my disparate collection of colorful fabrics together. Otherwise, it's FQs and half-yards of almost-solids.Libby in TNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709701255260085505noreply@blogger.com
