Thanks, everyone!
On cutting the dolphin fabric ...
Hubby picked it out for me at Walmart, knowing I'd love the pattern. He bought the rest of the bolt, 6+ yards.
The next thing you know, he's on the phone with his mom, "complaining" how he spent $26 on fabric only to have me cut most of it up into 3" triangles! :lol:
(He wasn't really complaining, but admitted he was leery of how the quilt would turn out. He shushed when he saw the outcome! :lol: )
It's great to have a hubby who supports my habits ... er ... hobbies! :thumbup:
