I've been working on a new project. My REWARD for being sooooo good!! Yep, the 4th of May was 28 w-h-o-l-e months since I've bought
any fabric!!!
Well, sorta.....when I hit the 24 month target I treated myself to a REWARD.
When I saw this BOM KIT The Quilt Show was featuring for 2013 I *swooned* and decided I HAD to have it!! My *no fabric buying rebellion* just
flew right out the window!!
(click HERE to read my original post about how and why I started my *no* fabric buying *rebellion*)
I reasoned I had been good for 2 yrs. with no fabric purchases and it was time for a special
treat. Don't you agree a girl needs some incentive to keep up her strength!!
I've already sewn TONS of spiky paper piecing! Woo Hoo, they look like orange
mountains with blue sky!
Those spiky pieces are now sewn together to make the sashing between the blocks.
Cute *round thangs* are what I am working on today. I only need 9......yeh!!!
I have other pieces and parts sewn together, but no photos yet!
This is a FABULOUS REWARD I gave myself!
Don't you agree!!!
I agree! Good for you! I'm starting my 2nd year of no fabric buying (although a book or pattern may have been purchased ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve a big reward! I have fallen off the "no buy" wagon a few times this year, but am trying really, really hard (and it is LOL) not to buy--except for backings... very nice work....Julierose
ReplyDeleteWow - and what an amazing reward - so bright and cheery! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIf you went all that time without buying fabric, then you definitely deserve to treat yourself and you picked a wonder quilt to treat yourself to!! So vibrant!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou have been INCREDIBLY good, Belinda! I can't believe you went 2 years. You have definitely earned this cool kit! : )
ReplyDeleteLooking really good. It is going to be amazing.
Wow, you've been a GOOD girl! I think a treat is definitely in order! Looks like you got a beauty too. This will be a spectacular quilt. It's looking very good. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteNice reward! I love those colors! :0)
ReplyDeleteNice reward. You deserve it. I can't imagine going that long without buying any fabric! You are a saint!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect "must have"...it's a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your "falling off the wagon" purchase!
Such a fun quilt. Enjoy your reward!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. This has got to be even more wonderful in person with all the different shades of blue and orange. This is a very good reward to yourself.
ReplyDeleteWe had three inches of rain last night. Ponds of water all over.
You are amazing...24 months...and love love what you are working on now
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool project...you are on fire...I think I can guess which circles you are prepping for applique...
ReplyDeleteIn stitches,
Teresa :o)
Yes, if you are going to have a reward - go BIG.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular choice.
Good for you for sticking it out. What an awesome quilt this will be.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice indeed! Looking amazing so far:)
ReplyDelete28 months - is amazing! I don't think I could do it. You had good reason. Your new project looks fabulous!! Enjoy every minute of it :0)
ReplyDeleteYou deserved the reward. Did you go into sticker shock when you paid the bill? Love this. Keep us posted. :)
ReplyDeleteI do agree that you definitely needed to reward yourself. You have been very good. What a neat quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your reward!!! I found your blog when I had to ask "Joe Tulips" to please explain Mrs. Browndirt. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the NO BUY. I did it for just a retreat last spring. I would always tell the DH the retreat was only $150. His response. Yes, but how much will you spend at retreat?! It was very hard!
