Being a pensioner I can only afford cheaper materials. Here in Australia it is the Bargain box at $10-12 per meter. I make baby quilts at least 40inches square so they will do for a long time not just for babies and Machine quilt them so they will last the distance. (I can't hand quilt very well. But the question is what do I do with them, I make bed size or bigger so they can be used when ever visitors arrive with out any( not often ) otherwise they are stored in a box or on bed till used.
