But All the Fabric is Gone - What Now?

After hanging my Tulips Tossed quilt behind the buffet, I knew I wanted something great for the table that went with it; but I didn't have leftovers of any of the fabrics I used.  I pinned my quilt back on the design board and started pulling fabrics from my stash.

I auditioned some greens, burgandys and oranges and then found a charm pack that had the same bright, warm tones as the quilt.  The garnet Peppered Cotton was a really close match to the burgandy batik that was used for the sashing and I realized I was ready to make my Sedona Sunrise tablerunner.

Fabrics that have a similar feeling and tone can serve you well when you don't have enough yardage to make multiple projects.
