    How do you explain people like me who buys a lot of fabric on line? Does my PC have smell-oh-vision? I agree, though, once it is home, it does affect me the way you describe.

    And that is the reason she only thinks I have four. I actually have 8, and the 81 yds is still not put away, lol. And that isn't even counting what I have stacked on the table, and on the spare bed. It really is a sickness with me.

    No not a "Cult" thing it is a "Cut" out thing!! LOL
    "More Blocks, More Blocks" cut out to sew!!!
    To make one big block the size of a: Table runner, wallhanging, throw, twin, full, queen, king!!!
    All of those blocks take a lot of Fabric!!!!!!
    Sew no it isn't our fault, it is the requirments of the object we are making it for!!!! LOL

    Thank you for the morning laugh, I had started worrying about the amount of material I have accumulated since I started quilting, 5-6 months ago, I have a long long way to go to catch up to Jean

    OMG!!! Marilyn it is worse than I thought. Maybe a fabric intervention is in order. LOL
