Restocking The Basics :: Must Haves & Gotta Haves

There are basic fabrics we need on hand all the time.  Like white.  Lots and lots of white!! And of course one of my favorite background colors such as gray.  If I could I would have bolts of these two on hand times two!

Kona White, Kona Nightfall, Kona Shadow

  I used the last of my Kona white on my Drunkards Path quilt.  Which was just barely enough, but I got clever and was able to make it work.  I knew I had better get more ordered and the quicker the better.  

I would love nothing more than to buy by the bolt on a couple colors.  Since I don't have a connection the next best thing is buying from fabric.com.  They always have a buy more, save more on most of their Kona cottons.  For 10 yards of Kona white, I was able to get the price down to $4.34 a yard.  That's not bad!  

While white is must, probably my favorite background/backing color to use and have on hand is Kona Shadow.  My dark blue stock was also getting low, so welcome Nightfall!

Pink Flamingo, Honeysuckle, Valentine

I've been trying to find a Neon Pink solid with very little success.  These lovelies made it in my cart for 'just in case', but they were a far cry from Neon!!  I tried unsuccessfully to grab Kona Color of the Year Pink Flamingo when it first arrived on the scene.  When I saw it was actually in stock...I pounced.  Tell me why I didn't buy more than one yard!  Because it's really, really pretty to me!



This is my second batch of Diamond Hexie Stars.  I started making them while I was in Oregon.  Star Light, Star Bright was my first batch.  I've decided these will be my long term project for the rest of the year.  I'm using bright Kaffe Fasset fabrics and fussy cutting for the most part.  But I needed more...and when I was tempted with more...I couldn't resist!



Cyndy at Quilting is more fun than Housework offered up a hand picked bundle to fulfill my EPP diamond project.  I loved her note!  I know!!! What the heck is going on with me and prints?  You'd think I have finally developed a relationship with prints after all these years! 



I see many more diamonds being cut from these fabrics and I think I'll start right now!  

There it is, my latest acquisitions to my stash.  Some must haves, and some gotta haves!
