I've got them in plastic bags in a large box. Searched for a suitable method of using them over that time. I've decided on a Cathedral Quilt (although I do realize it's not a traditional quilt). I've made a quick quilt (all machine made) for my husband's uncle & a scrappy quilt for my uncle for this Christmas. I'm assuming the Cathedral will be about a 2 year project & give me some hand work for evenings & when I sit in doctor's offices', etc.
I'm looking forward to learning more with the forums & the newsletters.

I am not trying to sound bossy. But please don't let the fabric stay in those plastic bags to long it will make them sweat and mold at the very least open them up for air to get into. I learned this the hard way.
