I searched stores and peeped on-line and finally made up my mind to give in and buy the fabric. Boy was I shocked by the price of the fat-quarter bundle! I must be cheap because than I charged my mind. Then I came up with an idea and I had to have the fabric. And because I was still cheap, I bought the 5" squares and I was going to use them all up instead of have a fat-quarter bundle only partly used up. At the same time I also bought muslin squares. I had the perfect plan and the only thing holding me back, is slow delivery.
I received them yesterday and I already got started. Want to see?
I'm making half-square triangle baskets.
I think these are going to be so cute! One of the best things is, I can keep the handles in my bag and always have something to sew on (if I can keep my head out of the Kindle, which also lives in my bag!).

BTW, do allergies make you sleepy or am I just getting old? This last week I've been exhausted! I feel as if I can't get enough sleep and my eyes are always itchy (which I do know is allergies). And of course there is also my lack of quilting, that's another side-effect.
Oh woo is me! I am getting old! Next month I'll be 41, that is old! Guess I'm wearing out and breaking down...
Just ignore me, having a pity party, I'll be fine as soon as I find some chocolate.
Take care, Brandie

41, you are a baby. Hope the chocolate helped. We all have our pity parties when a birthday comes around.
That's perfect fabric for these baskets. I'm the same as you when I see the stack of fq's. I only have purchased 2 and both were with gift cert's. Hope you are feeling better, and good luck to your daughter, There's been a lot of love and labor go into this dress.
