When I see all the wonderful quilts on here I see all kinds of patterns in one quilt and they work. So how do you guys do that? We only have Walmart, Hobby Lobby and one LQS where I live and Walmart and Hobby Lobby are not very helpful and I can't afford to shop at the LQS at this point. Can someone please help? Thanks so much.
Check out your LQS and see if they have a sale section. Ours does and the beautiful fabric is $3.99 and fat quarters are $1.00-$1.25. All of the fall fabrics are in there now and soon the quilt fabric you will need for next Christmas will be there. Sure hope they have a section like that where you are.
