Edited to add this link http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...on&key=PATWPEF it is very similar to the YBR but it's free. Do let us know what you decide and what you make

Thank you quiltingaddictUK for this picture. It is gorgeous! However, I read Quiltin Nan's article on Infringement and not sure if this is acceptable under those guidelines. I do not want to infringe on anyone's copywrite and becoming paranoid about what I can do or not do. Could you or someone here clear this up for me? Thanks for the wonderful picture of your quilt. grammasharon

I just looked for my Yellow Brick Road pattern to tell you the number of fat quarters and I can't find it!! Instead I did find a pattern with 18 fat quarter called Casablanca by House of White Birches. It calls for more piecing, but a good pattern. Good luck!

I like the idea of adding gray fabric to the mix and will probably try to get to a quilt store to pick some out. I am so thankful for the great advice and help that you ladies have all provided me with.

imho, after viewing all of the above, I would purchase the YBR pattern. The $5. pattern offer is much worth your interest. Upon purchasing the pattern, I first thought the instructions looked complicated, but they ARE SO SIMPLE. I've made it three times. 2 lap size (12 fq) and a baby (6 fq) and was so pleased with all of them. My next one is (30 fq) for a queen. You can sew and visit with no problems with this pattern. Good Luck and will look forward to seeing your finished project when you return from the retreat.

You can cut fat quarters from your stash. Then you can have just what you need. Barb
