It sure is easy to pick up those innocent looking Fat Quarters but they can add a fair bit of yardage to the stash especially when there is no real plan for their use.
I have found a project that will use up about 26 to 28 of those FQ's. It is a Postage Stamp Quilt and there is a group of people signed up for this online project. Check it out at Handmade by Heidi. Now, I hope I can find enough 'background' in my stash to make this. It would be a bit counter productive if I had to go out now to buy 6.5 meters of plain to use for it. I will be hunting through the boxes and totes to see what I can come up with.
Hmmm... first comment eaten by Blogger, apparently... ;-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I have the same problem of not having enough lights/background fabs. The thing is, if you use a really dark dark, even a light-ish medium will look light next to it. And it adds to the intersting-ness (LOL) of the piece.
At least that's my story & I'm sticking to it!
(Yep, the first comment was a little more coherent!)
