Moving right along on my “Insanity” DJ quilt. I got 3 more blocks quilted last night – I’m
getting very close to having the 7th row finished — which means 6 more rows of blocks and one more row of triangles — getting there! One day, maybe by the end of the year? The photo on the left is of # 10 & 11 and the photo on the right is block #12.
I am having to control myself to not start cutting pieces for the new simple quilt that I showed a photo of yesterday – “So Charming” I have already been looking at my small pieces on the shelves wondering what kind of colors I want the blocks to be – a very random choice of colors, maybe all pastels, maybe all brights – a mixture? These fabrics are what I have to chose from on my shelve. Of 
course this is not 
counting the 7 large shoe box size of small pieces or the large stack of big pieces. These photo’s show my selection of fat quarters or smaller that decorate my room at the moment!
I know this is a lot less than some of you have – I have heard of plastic storage containers stacked from floor to ceiling in your houses, closets full to the ceiling, under the beds absolutely full! Although the fabric is crammed in these rectangular wire baskets a lot of you have me beat by a long shot. I have finally put the overflow in this pretty striped bowl that I got from my daughter who use to sell Southern Living at Home items. I wouldn’t even have this much on 
the shelf except when I buy fabric for a quilt I always buy extra in case of mistakes – I do not live close to a quilt shop so have to travel or buy on line. I tend to buy fat quarters when traveling not large pieces. I don’t have a lot of storage room and also I’m never sure what colors I want until I choose a quilt to make and look at it a bit. I don’t like having too much fabric on hand because then it sits for a long time before I finally figure out what to use it for.
