Yesterday was Fat Quarter Frenzy at my LQS.
So, so damaging to my stash report.
I did try to keep to a list of things I needed. Ha - needed. Right.
15 Charlevoix - for Moose on the Porch's next quilt along
12 Grand Finale - um, because I like it
10 batiks - for St. Paul's Cross - I'm going to take a paper piecing class in September
12 Civil War - for Barbara Brackman's quilt along
3 pinks for the backs of doll quilts I'm making for neighbors who are moving
2 bats for the Dude, who called to make sure I was going to buy him something - I bought some glow-in-the-dark stars last year that will match for a quick Halloween quilt
3 beige Dimples - my ever present neutral
2 Army prints - since I have Navy, Marines and Air Force
Total? 59 fat quarters. For $99.94 - look, I kept it under $100!
Oh, and then there's this.
I had a bunch of 40% off Joann's coupons, so I succumbed. And I got a third of a yard of Cars fabric.
No finishes, since I didn't get the borders on the Christmas Kaleidoscope. At least next week the numbers will start going back down...

At least most of your purchases have a purpose. Even when I buy if it is for a fairly near term project I don't feel bad about it. Helping the economy, freshening my stash and just so fun to shop!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your picture of the stack of FQ. I think it looks artistic. Maybe I need to go shopping so I can redecorate a room or two. I wouldn't have to call report it because it's art, right? :-)
ReplyDeleteAll great choices. At least you have projects planned.
ReplyDeleteLOL - love those FQs!!
ReplyDeleteYou have plans for all you bought, so hopefully it will all go out before too long. Beautiful fabrics!
