I would like to join!! My favorite colors are greens, pinks, browns, and blues. But i'm not really that picky. 12 1/2 in is good for me.

I've never done anything like this before. Hopefully I don't mess up. lol. So do we end up with enough blocks to put a quilt together to keep or we supose to give it away. lol. Sorry so many questions. Thanks!!!

I have some of the 5" Friendship squares by Moda, the Englebriet designs, not that I sew much, well rarely but I intend to use them for pincushions, need to look for fat quarters now! Your fabric is gorgeous Wild!!! ..and your project has taken on a life of it's own here!!

Acre of Blessings has tucked me under her wing and is gently prodding me to join this. I really WANT to, but I'm nervous.

More than anything, I worry about finding fabric. We live a good ways from any type of fabric store. I see that some of you use fabric.com. Are there other on-line fabric stores y'all recommend to find fabrics for quilts?

And just one more thing - when ordering on-line, how do I make sure it's nice, quality material? Is there something in particular I should look for?

I was worried enough about making a quilt for myself - let alone some other unsuspecting soul! But if I end up signing up, I promise to do my very, very best.

basicliving--- you can try www.jo-annfabrics.com and www.hancockfabrics.com (they are pricey but may have a sale)
there's www.wishuponaquilt.com , there is www.virginiaquilter.com/ (they have a great selection, even in the clearance they have Moda fat quarters)

These are just a few for you to check out that I found that may be helpful for you.

what do you mean by scrappy?

I'm a beginner, so I'm not all that great at terminology

Scrappy just means mix it up.

Okay I was just gonna go to JOanne and say give me a couple chunks of preaty fabric, guess that wont work.

I know(now) that Moda is a manufacturer of fabric since you can get Moda at all the stores

What is a FAT QUARTER is that a measurement, or is that just something that gets associated with Moda??
