Buying me some background

I didn't have nearly enough pale neutrals for the background of my hexagons, so I bought some more. Just the usual six-yard collection from www.thousandsofbolts.com - that's the amount they can fit in a priority envelope.

Amazingly, the Aussie dollar is worth more than the US dollar at the moment, so the madness of $5 or $6 a yard fabric from the US is made even more irresistible. The local quilt shop here is still stocking it all at $24/metre for basic prints, and more for designers or anything new.

I'm going to enjoy this pale creamy goodness I think.
