I can tell you how I messed up when buying the solid color material at JoAnns.
I made a quilt for my son using the Irish Chain pattern. Since it was for a boy, I was trying to use masculine colors...red/black/gray. It looked great but when I bought the black (over in the solid color area of JoAnn's) I was in a hurry and I didn't think to check it out....(how can you go wrong with black material)... :oops:
I grabbed the bolt and headed for the cutting counter.
I found out how it could go wrong...
the black material was very stretchy. I had a difficult time in cutting it so that it wouldn't stretch in the pattern.
:lol: Now I check all of the material that I buy and I don't assume that all of it is the same even if it is in the same area.
