My machine is back after having its tension adjusted, I got it all set up and ready to go but when I started cutting fabric for step 2 of my 3 part mystery quilt I came up short. There is nothing more aggravating. I can't say for sure what I bought but I usually round up when buying fabric for a specific pattern. Also, since this is a nice neutral, I can almost bet I bought extra because it would make a nice addition to any stash. I needed 100 rectangles to sew to the sides of these hour glass blocks.
I managed 76 then only had this little bit left.
The upside is that I bought the fabric recently at the shop where I like to take quilt tops to be quilted. So, I quick like a bunny, bought some batting and assembled backing for the 2 quilts I started at my quilt retreat in February. At the quilt shop I found the fabric, bought a half yard, and dropped off 2 quilts. Yeah, me.
