Hey! I just realized I don't live far from you at all. I live in Gainesville. I-75 is just down Newberry, two minutes from me, then it's a hop-skip-and a jump to Lake City.
Do you belong to a guild in L.C.?

No, at this point I don't. Have to watch the pennies. On fixed income but do love to quilt. I have a neighbor that quilts & she has given me so much fabric that I don't know where to start. I am in Gainesville on Sunday as we go to church there.

I sort by color also, but I never cut scraps to a particular size. I wait until I know I want to use it, but then I haven't made that many quilts either. If I were like many of the people on here that can whip out more than two a year (lucky to get that done but then mine have all be queen-size), I'd cut them as I stored also.

OK - now I'm motivated to start on a crumb quilt. Do y9ou use anything at all for a backing. I've heard of using pages from an old phone book or those wax paper squares from Sam's. Any recommendations? These would be fun to practice FAQ on -- almost impossible to see the stitches with all that noise.
