Bonnie Hunter has a PERFECT website with the most PERFECT directions for the most PERFECT quilts.....trust me, I've made all of them....several times!!

find some quilting friends and split yardage with them or go hog wild with fat quarters. you get a little bit for a little price but then with scrappy quilts, a little goes a long long way!!

Jodi, I followed your quiltville address and spent over an hour looking at all the crumb quilts that were made and followed all the tutorials. What a delightful time. I have always been too sure I followed all the "rules", and frankly, some of my stuff is quite boring. I'm going to really get into my stash of scraps and just "wing it" and see what I get. I know I will cringe putting purple and orange together so I'll just go and get another cup of coffee.
