Day 183: As of bedtime last night, I had completed 100 of 230 hexagons for the quilt-as-you-go project. Fifty of them are assembled. The remaining 50 are in this pile, to be randomized in the second half of the quilt. The project has put a substantial dent in my scrap stash, and I'm still in dire need of more prints (100% cotton). To that end, I visited a quilt shop a few days ago, but I walked out without buying a single piece of fabric. "Upscale" doesn't begin to define it. Their cheapest yardage was well out of my budget. Oh, how I miss Joann's! But I recall a point in my life when fabric stores disappeared for several years, with the reason being given that there was no demand. I am hopeful that another company will step in to fill the void because I will not buy from wacked-out Hobby Lobby even if it means I never make another quilt.
