I don't buy patterns in envelopes unless they are WAY discounted in the clearance bin.

Have a couple of blocks that I enjoy making and since they look good I usually stick with those to make a quilt.<br />Once in a while if I see a pattern that really stands out I will buy it; rarely though. It has to be something I will use more than once.Marilynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538443.post-62197298773241933822013-05-16T07:23:57.144-06:002013-05-16T07:23:57.144-06:00Alycia, what a difficult question.
