Sometimes a fabric with less print will end up showing stains on it. At least nothing will show up on this apron. Sometimes a fabric with less print will end up showing stains on it.

Are you entering this apron in the fair or making a different one? I think all of your sewing looks great.

So if i need to throw out a partially finished project that i don't like, or re-purpose the fabrics for something else, then i do it. the last thing i want is to not make any progress because i can't stand to to throw out something that i just don't like. Sadly i had a quiling friend who did just that. she became paralized by a stash bought years ago that just didn't work for her now. All she could see was how much fabric $$'s she would be throwing away, and yet she didn't want to donate it either. So sad! LOL that’s where i use my favorite two quilting tools;
1. letting the project rest a while.
2. deciding after the rest that the first choice to chuck it all was the right one.

And yes most of the time I don't care for my choices ( even though others say they like them)- maybe that's why I try to match whatever quilts, etc that I see in the magazines since the choice is already done. :) Don’t laugh but my first thought when I saw this picture ( or at least the top part of it before I scrolled down) was that it reminded me of a bra or bathing suit top!!!
