I spent an hour this morning with my color wheel and fabric trying to figure out how to save the wine bottle fabric (I think I've come up with a potential solution) and make a beautiful quilt. Husband said, "Just buy some new fabric" but I'm determined to correct this mistake. But then there is another slight glitch . . .
In addition to the bottles-on-their-side problem, I decided I really didn't like the fabric I had chosen for the quilt. Too many small scale prints, just too much going on. This is certainly a time when one's stash comes in handy. I pulled out fabric I have and now I will only have to purchase a little additional fabric.
The whole thing is pretty funny actually because I knew when I was cutting the wine bottle fabric that I should have cut it lengthwise of the fabric. Why I didn't do that I will never know! Onward.
Thanks for your confidence. I did cut the wine bottle fabric yesterday and managed to do it correctly this time. I purchased 4 more yards, as I was so paranoid I'd do something wrong again and not have enough fabric. Started sewing yesterday. Think it's going to work out. Looking forward to a fun workshop tomorrow at Cabin Fever. You should really get into quilting. I think you would LOVE it.
