Living over seas for the past 20 years where we have NO shops to buy fab/supplies, I would scour my "must make" markers in my stacks of mags and photo copy the pattern and fab requirements for ones I wanted to buy fab for on my up and coming trip to the U.S. I would buy fab to complete about 10 quilts, take clippings of each and pin it to the pattern copy (so I wouldn't confuse which fab goes with which pattern when I got home). Next, wash the fabs and place them (with the pattern copy noting which mag/pg# the pattern came from and place it in a giant zip-lock bag. I have now made everyone!
