Elizabeth Young
Hi, the new Liz again!
I have been cruising websites (what a lot of quilt stuff there is out

Picket Fence help needed by
Roberta Zollner

strip, right sides together, at a right angle, and aligning the corners.

seam. (Looks just like joining strips on the bias for binding.) Make 240...

fussy cutting question by
Betty in Wi
I saw a quilt the other day at our LQS that was made with this fabric. The
middle section of the quilt was a whole panel of this fabric. It had borders
around it. At the top, there was a "border print" border (companion fabric).

Old Time Quilting advice by
Marcella Tracy Peek
I got a copy of a quilt book that was published in 1959. I was amused
by some of the things written and thought you all might get a kick out
