Today’s fabric shopping spree consisted of 10 beiges/taupes. There was not a chartreuse, magenta, or orange in the lot of them. I’m getting better at stashing neutrals now. It’s actually quite fun. Most of these will find their way into my my hand-pieced star quilt.

Above is a Civil War print from Windham Fabrics. It’s one of three Civil War reproductions I bought today. The organic feel of this one caught my eye. It’s not what I usually think of when it comes to Civil War prints, but then again I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. The other two are very Civil War-looking: a indigo-on-beige floral and a black-on-beige floral/polka dot stripe.

I’m not ready for a whole new fabric obsession, so for now I’m going to stick with just the reproductions that I think will blend with what I already have in my stash. Someday though, it just might become an obsession.
