You know there's a problem of having too much fabric when you know you bought fabric to back a quilt but you can't find it in your house anywhere. Actually, I have two projects that I am working on that I can't find the fabric for. The first is a wedding quilt. I am to the point where I am ready to get the backing together and then get everything layered for quilting (hand or machine? still undetermined), but my backing fabric that I bought is not quite long enough, so I thought I would piece an insert to get to the correct length. Problem is - I can't for the life of me figure out where I stashed the extra material from piecing the quilt together. ugh... I have searched high and low to no avail.
I decided to give myself a break from the stress of that problem to move onto a simpler project. I have a few smaller quilts that need backing, batting, and then quilted. I pulled a quilt top out that I knew I had bought fabric for the backing and low and behold - I can't find the fabric again! I have searched and searched, all but one spot, but that will have to wait until later in the day. I have to move about 8 sewing machines to get to the bin.
At this point, I am almost convinced that the extra fabrics from these two projects are hiding out together. I have too much fabric to keep in one closet, thus the multiple locations, which then leads to days like this.
Wanna know something else?? I was actually thinking about visiting a local quilt shop later today to see what was new. I think I will put that idea on hold for a while longer. I have enough problems keeping track of the fabrics I have in the house already.
