Maybe I Need More Fabric
Maybe I need more fabric. My husband would LAUGH at the idea! With about 1000 pieces of fabric SURELY I must have anything I could imagine, right? Well, maybe not. I’m used to working with lots of small pieces (think palm-sized to hand-sized,) but my next quilt would probably need much larger pieces. I needed…
