You think that you're moving right along and then, ooof, a speed bump. I started cutting the strips for the Plate Club, and discovered that I have no blue dots. I know, it's unbelievable. I thought I had a lot of dots, but as it turns out, I don't have as many as I thought. I have some fabrics that are ovals and I think they will work. I have also used some that are little flowers and look like dots, but nothing in blue. I promised myself that I wouldn't but any new fabrics for this quilt, but . . . Hmmm. These are the fabrics I've cut so far. The black on the far right is a floral, but I like it. The green two strips to the left is also a floral, but it's a 30's repro and I think it looks OK. The brown is also a floral, the orange on the left is swirls, and the last black on the left is triangles and I'm not sure about it. The hearts look pretty good, I think. But I really think I need some blues. Maybe I can find something on sale really cheap since I've already gone over my quilting budget for the month. See you later, I'm going hunting.

Hey, I totally understand. I do that with yarn. I want green - not the green I have - I have about 4 shaves of green - I want kelly green or forest green.
Yes, and I go buy it - even if I have promised not to buy yarn. But that is an improvment because I buy yarn now out of a need - not because I feel in the mood to just buy yarn - which I have done for YEARS!
Baby steps.
