My LQS loves me -- they tell me how much fabric I'll need for this or that and I tell them to always cut at least an extra yard in case I mess up :oops: :oops:

Buy fabric--choose pattern latter, worry about backing at a later date. Theresse

Before I started quilting I had made 2 sets of Scrubs for my niece who is an RN, I remember hearing my husband ask (Do you need that much material!) well it ended up I didn't but it left me a good amount to use in my quilt.

Pretty smart thinking huh? I didn't have a clue. I had a pattern that told me how much to buy for each piece.
