Still plugging away on my blocks, did the triangle blocks tonight. Getting closer to putting it together. I'm hoping to get alot of sewing time this weekend. Maybe I could get it to border stage? Sure don't know what I am going to do for borders. I like the idea of 9 patches on point, but wonder if it will be just too busy then. Maybe it just needs a calmer border, afterall there is alot going on in the quilt center.
Was a bad girl and bought more fabric yesterday. I haven't tallied it up yet, but it was a good amount. Can't resist the price and bought some large pieces for backing, again. This store has good prices anyway, usually $3.99 /yd. had a sale on some bolts for $2.49/yd. Nice fabric too, Wyndam , Chantclaire, and Marcus Brothers I think are the ones I bought. I'm not sure where he gets his fabric from....I know some it is older stuff. He has flat folds too, tho I usually don't find much what I like in them. They seem like they might be the trial runs as the hand, or feel of the yardage is a bit different. The ones I bought feel great and many had "quilt shop" on the bolt. I try to stay away from the shop all together which is pretty easy as it is a fair distance and not near much else...except Staples...and that is where I had to go yesterday for ink for my printer...didn't get that either...got a new printer instead! Must have felt rich yesterday, guess I'm delusional. :)

It is always a wonder to me that I go into the fabric store for a simple (don't even have to look at the fabric) item and it seems I always come out with several bags full of new projects. I am curious to watch your tally as the year goes by. If you are like me, I suspect the tally will be more in the sewing room that out...
