stash happy


Here is my progress on the slice of my stash quilt. (click on image to see the detail)
I have a bunch of greens to sew together yet and then I have to figure out how to pull this together in a quilt top. Did you notice how pink heavy my stash is? 2 lines of pink to half a line (if that) for every other color. I might need to go fabric shopping to evenly round out the stash. :)

Oh no, fabric shopping! What a shame:)

Looking inspiring with all those yummy fabrics...
Oh no! What hardship! A trip to the fabric store? Torture! tee hee
Thanks for showing this work in progress. I love seeing what you're stitching up.

Wonderful! I love pink heavy.
Wouldn't shopping defeat the purpose of a stash quilt? Wait, no, if you buy fabric it becomes part of your stash, right?

Great excuse to buy some fabric and once bought, it’s a part of your stash again! You will come up with a great idea to pull the slices to a quilttop! I can picture it!

Wonderful colors in your stash quilt.

They all look so lovely lined up like that! I definitely agree -- a little shopping is in order. After all, it's Halloween and you're low on oranges!

I love that a project that is supposed to help one reduce her stash has turned into one that requires some fabric shopping! I so understand!

Sarah said...

Oh, I can't wait to see this one when it's finished! You have such an impressive stash.

Linda said...

Oh, that's gorgeous! I love the browns and the oranges next to each other. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
