Speaking of which, the lilac fabric below falls in the same category of having been donated and me glad to be done with it, but it is a tad bit more fancy and ornate. I started out doing Warm Wishes and had to add half blocks to make it work. Turned out okay. Usually I use fleece or flannel for the backing, but I used the purple fabric from the center strip for the whole back. It was a good use of the fabric, I think. I also tied it with embroidery thread, tying four knots each time. It frayed nicely into fuzzy little bows. I'm hoping the four knots hold!

I also like to get a deal on fabric, and I like to use up my fabric efficiently. I created this blog to show the method of my madness... Some of my favorite sites:
