Sadly, fabric came in this week. I am trying to finish the Spinning Octogon project and it is not going well. I feel like I am too far in to just quit but it is an uphill climb. Since I am pretty insecure about this project I am trying to follow the original pattern in the book. Maybe that's the problem - following directions - since I'm not too good at that! I'm much better at making it up as I go along.

I was unable to sew at all this week so the incoming fabric looks even worse but it is what it is.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, no oranges in the stash. I fixed that by making a school colors quilt for one of Drama Teen's teachers. Now I have stash. Bringing in that bit didn't hurt your out numbers too badly. Sometimes you have to add to use more.
ReplyDeleteIt is ok to replenish your stash, especially if you are out of a certain color. Orange is my least favorite color, but I use it in scrappy quilts all the time to brighten them up.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't feel like continuing your spinning octagon, you could put the four blocks together and use them as the center of a scrappy medallion quilt.
Orange fabric is hard, isn't it? There are so many variations, and they don't always play well together.
ReplyDeleteYour spinning octogon is gorgeous! Do keep at it
ReplyDeleteI think the spinning octagon blocks are very pretty. I do not worry that much about adding fabric if I need to replenish a color.
