Going Sale-ing

After deciding that the best course of action to make each block look it's best would be to match the applique thread to the color fabric I applique, I realized I don't have that color thread. So, instead of going out and buying it at full price I have decided to take the week off and buy it this weekend, when thread at Joann will be 50% off.

Really, it only makes sense. Especially with how expensive this quilt it becoming already. Also, I get another 10% off the entire purchase for being a student. (If there are any students reading this, go to your local Joann and ask about this discount! It's like getting paid back for enrollment... Almost.)

So, instead of not sewing at all, I decided to take this lovely flannel I bought a few years back and finally make the rag quilt I had intended to.

It was coming along quite nicely until I realized that it would not be big enough to sleep under. I need to get about a yard more to make it a nice size. However, flannel is on sale this weekend also... So,

I can't wait until Friday! Joann sales, here I come!
