Elvis Is In The House.........................................................16/365

I'm about 8 months into my Block of the Month progect with Hancock fabrics.  Which means I have exactly 1 block completed, 2 partially completed and 5 not even looked at.  I wasn't a big fan of the black and white fabric, and I became quite a non-fan of how difficult it was to put the blocks together, but I figured I better finish what I start.  Tonight I received block #8 (or was it 9?)  Before we even arrived at the meeting I discussed with Jules that I was going to take a different path with this quilt (the quilt she immediately laid claim to when I decided not to give it to the person I thought I was going to give it to.)  I explained that conceptually I just couldn't stomach making each block a different color, as was my original plan.


Plan A

Well, I had an epiphany and decided that the only thing to do with the Black and White mess was to start over using a fabric I really wanted to work with.  I'm still trying to use up as much from my stash as possible rather than buying more fabric, so I was trying to avoid buying anything new.



Plan E for Elvis!

But...I had been eyeballing this pink Elvis Head fabric for a couple of months, trying to figure out a reason to buy it.  Well, now I had a reason AND it was on the clearance aisle AND it was half price at only $1.97 a yard!  Woo hoo!  Plus, it's a decent quality fabric, which is something I don't always find at Hancocks. 

Whew!  What a relief.  Now I just need to find the time to catch up on the blocks.  I've got three things going right now that need to be done ASAP.  Better get to sewing...
