I've beaten the bunny!! by
Elena
Well you could judge by brand name.. ( not the best way I've found )
or you could email them and ask for a swatch of the ones you are interested
in, or you could post the fabrics you want here, and see if anyone else has
bought them. Or just tell us which shop you are thinking of buying from,
and...

baby quilt status by
CNYstitcher
Started cutting out the pther pieces for my baby quilt....noticed that
while the center blocks were all bright, the fabric I had for the star
points were all dull. Of course, this means I had to go to the store to
find new fabrics...and Walmart was open until 11pm. So, out I went and
found some...

Weird S.E.X! by
Kate Dicey
Had a VERY odd trip today! First off I had to take Serge the Serger to
get his 'bit' fixed - he'll be gone a couple of weeks, so time to
quilt! Spent all of 5 mins in the shop and didn't buy a thing - didn't
even look at 'stuff', never mind fabric! Mind you, I had checked it all
out last week...

kind thoughts and prayers requested, please by
judy in fort worth
My DS is a recent college graduate and is having a really hard time finding
a teaching job. Of course, he (like his librarian mother) had to pick a
field that is very limited. He is looking for a high school athletic
trainer position but can teach health and physical education if he must. He
has...

Weird coincidence by

While at the Block Party Quilt Show this weekend I made a credit card
purchase at BJ's Fabrics and Quilting from Cloverdale Oregon. This is one

Well I did last night...

SO CAL Quilter's Run--Sun by
Kathy in CA
I did 3 shops in the southern route on Sunday. My DH was the address finder

free gifts, the nice people.
Spent money on a watercolor quilt book by Dina Pappas; bought 4" and 6"
templates for drunkard path--the demo was to...

julia sidebottom
Well I finally caught up with all the messages here that I was slowed
down by my computer woes. I am also working on my first sample block of
the Stack - Whack blocks I will be doing. Practice first on any new
block pattern I do is a must for me. This way I can see first hand what
I must do to...

Flannel advice please? by
Loren in Seattle
This group has given me some great advice on starting a flannel quilt, but I
still have a question. My blocks are very simple, large HST's, 8" wide.
Usually I square up HST's but the flannel seems like it needs less handling.
Or maybe since the block is so bit, but so simple that they are...

Backing/Binding: Will this work? (long) by
dogmom
Recently I posted that one shouldn't buy backing material until the final
size of the top was known. I really oughtta take my own darn advice! I

border; I'll MQ it w/ Warm-n-Natural batting. Then I made the backing--and

Eyes getting older by

It's official, my eyes are starting to go. Trying to trim some HST's for a
friendship block for my guild, I realized that the green fabric is exactly
Olfa green and blends perfectly into my cutting mat. Adding insult to

Let us say that you have finally finished all the blocks and arranged them

Quilt top finished.....now for the questions by
Debbi
If I am doing a quilt that is only 44" across, I do the top and bottom first
and then the sides so that I the length of one cut of the fabric will do. I
then piece the sides to make their appropriate size.
