Confession Wednesday!

When I can't fit in sewing time, the longing for playing in fabric is too compelling. I BUY!~ Yesterday we had to run errands, I had my COUPON so went to my favorite discount fabric place and bought--gulp---20 yards! Now I have all but 7.5 yards already spoken for in a quilt I'm working on, so I do have a use for it. I was making Alycia's #2 "Not so top secret quilt", and I didn't have enough of any fabric to make the setting triangles. Lots of odd bits and pieces, but was afraid it would look too thrown together. How do you like these fabrics??

The solid blue on the right is for setting triangles, the red will make a border, and the blue/cream at the top is the backing. What do you think??

And that last 7.5 yards? It is to be a backing for the bricks and stepping stones blocks I sew when I am bored. I think it will make a great bias binding also, I love using plaids and stripes for bias binding.

It should coordinate well with the black/white blocks in the stepping stones blocks, and since the blocks are VERY scrappy, it will match about anything!

I'm also trying to get together with some of the Nebraska Heartstrings group members, sewing with friends is so much fun! I am hoping we can also visit the Ashfall Fossil Beds, I have wanted to see it for a long time.
