Thanks! I have a couple more loads of washing then it's on to ironing. Hopefully it will be a little cooler.

I washed pre-cut pieces because I did not know if they had been washed. BIG mistake, strings all over and now needing to iron and then cut every piece. I enjoy the look of scrap quilts so that is what I will be doing.

I found great directions for a simple Jelly Roll quilt at
http://fromthenestblog.blogspot.com/...y-roll%20quilt I will just be cutting my own 2.5" strips.

Happy stitching,

You won't believe it, but I paid $2.00 ea for 4 bins! I also got vintage hankies in the original box for 10 cents, and quilting books for 10 cents ea. I didn't know about the UFO's until I got home, that was an extra bonus. :-P

I don't know what's going on, maybe people are downsizing due to the economy. I'm just glad I'm in the right place at the right time, and it's in my price range. I decided to skip the yard sale today where fabric was $1.00 per yard...darn!
I used to wash everything before I would use it in a quilt but now that is not the case. Unless it is a dark color that I don't trust I press it and use it. I have been lucky I guess because I have never had a quilt bleed when washed.

I wouldn't wash them before sewing and if they shrink at different rates then I think it would create an interesting effect with the puckering. Just a thought.

so happy for you. and as another newbie i say you can't have too much fabric! you scored and since you're just starting you need to get your fabric stock up anyway! delighted for you!
