From what I've noticed, I think the Quilter's Choice fabric is new as of maybe the past 6-8 months?

There are three Joann's near me. Two of the three always offer discounts is there's a yard or so left on the bolt. The other store (the once closest to me, like 7 minutes away!) - only once did they do that.

TWISTED QUILTER....you displayed a wonderful jeans quilt with strips of black, light tan, edging square blocks. I have made dozens of jean quilts and would enjoy making some with similar design! My question is, how do you manage the many, many seams after you have joined them? How do you keep them from making bumps and ridges?
I always use very light cotton batting and sew a nice material to back the quilt. The majority I have made are for charities.
Thank you for your help

I was told to use 1/2" seams to help reduce the bulk. Seems to have worked.

Hope this helps.

Yes! Anything less than 1 yd on the bolt is considered a remnant and most of the clerks at the Super JoAnn's in Columbia, MD offer it to you at a 50% discount. However, don't even think about clerks doing it willingly in some stores. I had a clerk be extremely rude when I asked about it in a NM store. Needless to say, whenever I visit MD I hit JAF. :thumbup:
