I do get this exactly! Starting a big project in a new discipline can be expensive.
I think the idea of a FQ sale space is a great idea  :)

Bitten the bullet and ordered the background fabric and 25 FQs to be going on with....I have enough white, but have forgotten to order the black.. bu**erit!!
The quilt is 67" x 91" according to the pattern, but, who knows  :D x

Low the thought of you purchasing 25 green themed based FQ is giving me palpitations  :S

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this Low. I still can't get over 40 fat quarters.   :o

The nearest to g***n so far is a slubby aqua Veggie  :P
Yep, 40 fqs in the end Supergran. I will use them all as I intend to make cushions as well as the quilt.... if I can  -<
So far I have bought different shades of .. pink, mauve and aqua to go with a background of white on cream/ beige......it's going to be a very colourful forest  :D
Can't start properly until the fabric arrives, obvs.. but, can do some cutting out in readiness ( I have the white fabric already )
