can there be too much fabric?

because I've run out of fabric for the quilt a long quilt I've been having some fun with making tote bags



this bird is the latest one.



I needed more fabric



ok so you know you got a bit carried away when fabric shopping, when you come home with ROLLS...................



and for quilting some cottons - ok so they don't go together, but they'll mix with what I have and for £2m I couldn't leave them in the shop.



couldn't resist this either, for it's sheer madness, the photo doesn't show it - the drawings are actually pink! didn't find what I wanted for the quilt though - have to go shopping again..............

several people have commented on the tidyness of the bedside table - I was very careful with that photo not to include the overflow onto the floor............................. I thought perhaps the horror of that might frighten you all away...................

  7. Rolls of fabric?!?! It never even crossed my mind that one can buy a whole roll.

    I love the tote you made.

    BTW my bedside table would look very similar to yours if I had one (since our move we are lacking in furniture)
