The answer about stash fabric is this, I bought the black background fabric. I had been buying brights for a while for another quilt I was planning to make. So no I didn't buy them for this quilt and I have not bought any for this quilt....yet

As for the other quilt, well, it may someday get made, it may not, so use what you have for now. If the other quilt does come into play then, I get to go buy fabric for it!

P.S. I never would have started this quilt had I really looked at the patterns, too many Y-seams and curves! I think with those drunkers paths, I will applique circles and cut them in forths. I will just have to figure how big to make the circles!

Vicky, your blocks are a work of art! You'd never guess you had trouble with any seams... Hang in there. I hope you show this quilt when it's finished... ribbons!!!

I hear that Vicky; they have been a challenge. But I have enjoyed sharpening up my skills and learning some new ones. I am really out of my comfort zone here but I think it will make me relook at some patterns I have passed on before and try them now:)

I do love your fabrics and just think a future shopping spree stands in the wings:) Gotta love that too:)

Hopefully my blocks will show up. I got behind when we are on vacation so have really had to scramble to catch up! As you can see, my blocks are really scrappy. So far I am meeting my goal of not buying any fabric for them.

Susie, your blocks are great!!! Your quilt is going to be very special. I LOVE scrappy---that's about all I have made for years. I have quilted close to 40 years and finally decided to use up ALL my scraps. Needless to say, that's nearly impossible...

Looking good Izzy! I know what you mean about using up the stash! Ha...these pieces are so small I haven't even made a dent in my scrap pile!
