Sometimes scraps just won't do!

One quarter yard short. Twenty 2 1/2" squares short... At first I hopefully looked at my scraps and thought maybe I could be wiley and piece them together in some sort of crafty way to make do, but alas I am stranded.

Just a few days ago I posted about my One Jelly Roll Wonder pattern and talked about the border I might put into action for it. Well, with a finished top in my sights, I forged ahead with my glorious ONE FULL YARD of a yellow gingham print and got that border going. Somewhere along the way I made a design change and *poof* there goes my original calculations for yardage out the window!

Since this is a pretty common print I'm hoping to find something pretty simliar today as I being my fabric hunt! I am teaching a class today on beginning needlturn applique at Quiltworks Northwest today and luckily this particular quilt shop is my destination for fabric when I just need something special... Keep your fingers crossed for me! This lovely pale yellow and white gingham print is discontinued from RJR - their "Farmhouse" collection - and it seems even they can conjure up a scrap of it... ;)
