Lesson learned: Buy More Fabric Than You Think You Need

Especially when you don't have a plan for it yet.

This weekend I finally started working on the sashing for my Hawaiian quilt. I've been working on the applique on and off for several years. Now there are 48 paper pieced sashing pieces to make. 14 are complete and I am wondering whether I will have enough fabric to finish my design. I'm going to sew all the strips together so I can use every last inch from now on.

Last week I paged through an OLD Southern Living cookbook, and found an interesting sounding recipe for Wholewheat Spice Cake. It was delicious - more of a cookie bar than a cake. Ingredients include dates, raisins, cinnamon, honey, pecans and chocolate chips! Now don't you want some?

I forgot the picture! Guess I'll just have to make it again.
