Fabric: Domestic Bliss from Moda
Mission: Use purchased charm packs
(Note: a charm pack is a set of precut 5" squares of coordinating fabrics)
I love sales. I hate sales. After Christmas one of my local quilt stores had a 20% off everything sale which is rare in the quilt store world. So I buzzed over to Fat Quarters and spent a little money. Sadly, I did end up with one purchase regret. Because I was determined to buy a couple of charm packs, I bought two in a fabric line I only kind of liked - just because they were on sale. After I got home with them my challenge became to quickly sew the undesirables into a baby quilt before I shoved them to the back of a closet/cupboard/drawer and forgot about them. The "X" pattern in this quilt is a reminder to NOT buy something just because it's on sale and to NOT buy something just because you set your mind to it.
Lesson learned.
