My fabric piecing continues, and new challenges are being set all the time. 
It now HAS to become a quilt, and it has to involve as much of my stash as possible before purchasing any more fabric, and the super-bright colours at the centre have to be made to look like they link back towards a bitter chocolate base colour (I invisage plain bitter-chocolate-coloured homespun as the only fabric I will have to buy, since there is none in my stash).I've used a lot of Tina Givens fabrics, because she manages to pull off some pretty unusual colour combinations, which - strangely enough - seem to be working in with my mad and unrelated mix. Then I moved on to Patty Young's Andalucia ("fire" colourway). With my heart set on this particular print with this particular set of quilt blocks, I dared not measure and estimate, in case I had proof that there wouldn't be enough. I WANT this fabric here and don't want to have to consider anything else in its place. I went for it, head-on, with high hopes of just scraping in with millimeters to spare.
Ok. So there wasn't enough, and I have 3 more 5" blocks to turn into 9" blocks.
I've googled and searched Etsy and trawled through my favourite fabric shop websites. No joy. Does anyone (preferably local) know if it's in any bricks & mortar shops or have a bit in their stash that I could purchase...?
Bravery is finished. I'm on to begging.
I spent yesterday at a Quilt-in with the 
The day was very well-organised, with a range of shops (mine-included), competitions, door-prizes and awards. Lots of chatting and stitching was done. Lovely.
I had such an enjoyable day. Thanks ladies!!!
