I really want to do it in the colorway that Judy shows but lack about 3/
4 of a yard of the yellow. My other option is to go with the orange.
Options:
1) start with the yellow I have and make do for the border that calls for yellow. I am looking to see if I can find another piece of that yellow.
2) buy a new piece of yellow.
3) just use the orange and get over it.
I have explored swapping with someone for a large enough piece of yellow but most people don't have that big of a piece. I WANT to buy more but I SHOULD use what I have. I can't start when Judy kicks this off so I will have to see where I am when I can start.
What would you do?
If you have the majority of the fabric you need in stash, then buy the yellow you need. You won't be happy any other way.

Why not use both?
ReplyDeleteCan you find a piece of yellow/blue that will do for the border? That way you can use the yellow you like and ad lib for the border.
ReplyDeleteI would use the yellow. I'd probably go ahead and get started, and then see where you sit when you get to the borders. Looking at the pattern, you should be able to use a "close" yellow for that, if you really don't have enough.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just gotta break down and buy new of something you really need to have that pleases both your eye and your heart. Sounds to me like you need to shop for some lovely yellow, Swooze. Your quilt will be fabulous with whatever color you end up with tho.
ReplyDeleteThe Orange goes well with what you pulled
