I find it difficult to edit collections. Instead, I've stopped adding to them. Whatever works, right? <br /><br />Another way I'm dealing with the uglies in my stash is that I use less than desirable fabrics for backing. I used to buy muslin for backing, so as long as it's as heavy as muslin and can be pieced, it works. I just piece the backing to the size I need. I tend to use only one color so that there's a cohesive feel to the backing. I've found that this works really well and saves money.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844816520985230989.post-77220197498488125762016-07-12T23:01:58.791-07:002016-07-12T23:01:58.791-07:00Wow, quilting for a blog!

I haven't been in one in years...need to rectify that.<br /><br />Is it wrong that I kind of like the poppy pattern? I could see it included on a quilt.J.H.

I've been rooting out lower quality fabric which I bought before I knew as much as I know now or which I obtained free at our (now-defunct) recycle center. Some fabrics just have to go!<br />--Nancy.
