You all are making me want to try it. I am anxiously awaiting more pictures.

Butterflywing- I reread my post and it sounded kind of confusing. It's like kankan01 said about the backing coming to the front and making a sashing. The back is a solid piece of fabric (that needs to coordinate with the front) I finished one just before the New Year and ended up liking the back better--that is why I want to figure out a way to make it so the front doesn't have sashing. Does that make sense?

The template just makes it easy to center the batting. I didn't use it to cut the back or batting

Has anyone actually made one from the fun and done patterns? I got mine in the mail yesterday and maybe it's just me but it seems like to calls for a lot of fabric. The easy diamonds takes almost 20 yards of fabric for a twin size. At $9 a yard that would cost $180 for just the fabric. By the time you buy the batting you would have over $200 in it. Does that seem like a lot of fabric to anyone else? Just wondering if anyone has actually purchased the fabric and made one and if they had tons of fabric left over.

That is WAY TOO much fabric for a twin size. Does this include the backing? I use about 6 yards of fabric for the front and back of a full size/queen size quilt. I haven't used the FUN and DONE pattern, just the method.

My 2 Cents worth... :-)

Yes that includes the backing, but still sounds like a lot of fabric to me for a twin sized quilt.

The only way I can figure it would take that much fabric is if you are fussy cutting patterns from the fabric and only want ONE pattern.

wow, that would be way tooo much fabric for a twin size quilt, even with the backing.

I made some squares, using scraps of fabric and know that I won't use anywhere near that much.

That is way too much fabric even with the backing included. I've never used that much fabric in any quilt I've made. I haven't received my fun and done yet. I ordered the easy diamond pattern too.

My mom works in a quilt shop in Florida and when I talked to her the other night she had just finished a quilt using the Fun & Done and told me that I HAVE to get one. She said it is so fun and easy and quick. They have 4 of the patterns now made up in the shop. And needless to say mom has bought almost all the patterns available. (I did tell her to remember her daughter ;) )

It is a great way to use up batting scraps. I have a ton of them left over from other quilt projects.
