I live in Tulare, California which is just south of Fresno in the middle of California. (although we will be moving to the mountains near Jackson in about a year) All the comments about backing have been appreciated. I decided on a blue and white striped flannel fabric whcih I think will work well.
Someone should have told me what making this baby quilt would do to me, though...... :shock: I am haunting this site and others and fingering and buying fabric like mad for various future projects. The "new" ideas to quilting (since my last baby quilt 30 years ago) have made this activity so enjoyable for me. Being able to cut straight and use "strip" construction is great! I have been continually impressed by the pictures of quilts on this site and the level of difficulty that has been successfully achieved. I certainly have alot to learn!!!!!
