Fun, isn't it?  Sometimes I'll get several yards of the same color solid
fabric but in different hues so I can have blenders to go with prints.
It means I may have to pick up one extra piece of fabric for a quilt
I've got in mind vs several, sort of like "almost free". I did my greens
quilt that way; only one piece besides the backing was bought just for
that.  The other 3 pieces were in my stash.

Bummer, isn't it?  I'm not so thrilled with OG any more; tried Carrabbas
on our way out here and I like them better. We have both fairly nearby
but it's hard finding a seat on Friday or Saturday night. (G)
