@supergran, I am so happy to hear you say that - I am following the same mantra. I decided my BOM quilt was going to be made up of scraps and bits that I had and that an absolute minimum would be bought for the project - if any. As a result, I have run out of some scraps and had to progressively add others. I hope it will look alright in the end...if not, I will always be able to look on it proudly as a great many lessons learned....and then hide it from view in the laundry room, I guess.
