Had some visiting for church to do tonight. Got home about 7:00 and ate dinner. I had a visit at 7:30. When she left I went down to sew and realized I had run out of thread for my quilt.
I didn't want to go all the way out to Walmart and so decided to hit Ben Franklin. On the spur of the moment I decided to take the fabric I had bought for the Christmas placemats. I have been looking for background fabric to go with the tree fabric.
I had thought that I wanted something with stars. These are wedged shaped trees that I will do on a four patch. I found this and thought that it would work great. I will only use it for the top row. The counter lady figured out about how much I would need. I wouldn't let her cut it until I knew how much cash I had with me. She gave me a 20% coupon for the register. I counted my money and was pretty sure I had enough for the fabric and thread. I was 1c short. The guy at the register had one. Pretty amazing huh?
You can't tell very well from the picture but some of those stars are la real light blue teal. Bit brings out that color in the tree fabric. The gold stars brings out a tiny hint of gold on the leaves. I think it is going to look real nice together.
