I'm off to the city

It's kind of like over the river and through the woods......to the big city will i go.

In cutting out the blocks for the king size wedding quilt i am making i discovered that i don't have enough fabric and there is absolutely nothing in my stash to match this...not even close. that is what happens when you buy the fabric first and then find a pattern.

I NEED 5 more fat quarters and something for the first border. it is in creams and light blues and greens....i had thrown a brown in there for interest but now that i look at it on the wall the brown is too dark. so to replace those blocks with brown in them....at least the ones with the most brown....i will need 5 more FQs. so now i need 10 FQs.

It is a JoAnn's fabric. i looked online and could not find it on their website. and it is not to be found elsewhere. so i'll be travelling 100 miles to the city....find my stuff....spend the night at my sister's ....and come back home tomorrow. i sure hope they still have the same fabric...i bought this about a month ago.

Wish me luck

And i need to get back before the next round of snow flies....and quilt class on Monday.
