Fat Quarter Friday

My LQS had a fantastic sale on fat quarters this week, so of course I had to go pay them a visit. I came back with a nice little stack of fat quarters and I must say that I am extremely happy with my purchases. I love text prints so this Sweetwater print on top was a nice find. And of course, I couldn't go wrong with some comma fabric and a few grays & blues to round out my stash.

I don't normally buy fat quarters, and instead prefer to buy by the half yard. I find this gives me enough to do a variety of projects. Or if I am buying for a specific project I get just what I need (unless I happen to L-O-V-E the fabric then I buy more for my stash).

How do you prefer to buy your fabric?

On the Cutting Table

When I came home from my local quilt store with an array of prints in one of my favorite color combos - mustard, navy, raspberry, and light gray - I couldn't wait to start cutting into it. I already have a project in mind for these fun prints and hope to finish it soon. Yes, I know I have a stack of unfinished projects a mile high that I should be working on...but when creativity strikes, you can't ignore it!
