SNAILS!  Can we even begin to discuss how much I love this fabric?  Because I do.  (But do you think that red and cream Amy Butler dot print matches the red from the mushrooms?  I actually already had that one and pulled it out because I couldn&#8217;t find a red that I liked when I found the other four colors.  Thoughts?)<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hiptopiecesquares\/4438637843\/\" title=\"greens and browns by Hip To Piece Squares, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4014\/4438637843_6c3848c4e9.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" alt=\"greens and browns\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd then I&#8217;ve been collecting browns and greens.  I think this is going to make an fantastic top, but I have no idea what to do with it.  I&#8217;m stumped on what to start.  So far, my only idea has been to make a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dsquilts.com\/fabric_and_patterns.asp?PageID=83\">Single Girl<\/a> with it, but I&#8217;m not sure I have enough variation in fabrics.  Again, thoughts?<\/p>\n<p>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hiptopiecesquares\/4439414164\/\" title=\"the various prints by Hip To Piece Squares, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4028\/4439414164_dbec9c79c0.jpg\" width=\"334\" height=\"500\" alt=\"the various prints\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd here are the miscellaneous fabrics.  I&#8217;ve been picking them up since the beginning of the year now, and I&#8217;m pretty sure they don&#8217;t all really go together.  I need to keep planning with this team.  All wonderful, for sure, but not all necessarily meant to be together.  Which I think is a hoarding-type thought.  I think.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe one good thing about all this is that I haven&#8217;t acutally begun any projects yet.  (Which I think is certainly adding to this issue!)  I&#8217;m still on track to get the quilting on my <a href=\"http:\/\/hiptopiecesquares.avenueb.org\/2010\/03\/making_a_quilt_takes_forever.html\">Love Beads<\/a> quilt finished up by the end of the month.  I&#8217;ll also hopefully be back with two finished knits by the end of the week.  That is, unless I become buried alive by my fabric, yarn and craft supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\nSend help in the form of Rubbermaid bins and mental counseling soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a confession to make: I&#8217;m afraid I might be a compulsive hoarder.
