I find I tend to label my greys and whites more than anything else. I once made an entire quilt with different "whites" without even noticing until I took it outside for pictures!! That's when i started labelling my whites. :-)Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135564727921370376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-58578779608690753202017-01-20T12:20:43.879-08:002017-01-20T12:20:43.879-08:00If I'm buying solids at my LQS (rather than a ...If I'm buying solids at my LQS (rather than a box store) I will write on the selvage area -- especially if it is something that I might need more of for a project.
