Surely that is a bad idea! It is such a straight-forward solution, it MUST be a bad idea ..
actually, you are right - - it would help us accomplish a lot more if we went all the way back to the first pattern, magazine, or book we purchased and just worked through the patterns ..
Just last week, I think I figured it out - - the only thing different from what inspired us a few years ago and today are the fabrics ... basically, we are working with very simple quilt blocks. <wave>
Exactly...I look at all the books to see just how the new fabrics are used in some basic blocks and combinations.
On the other hand, new ways to tweek the old patterns also draws me...so ......
if the "old stuff was "old" than why do we by reproductions, or make yo-yo's with the new Batiks and Asians? The rich new fabrics give the old faithful "pazzaz"....(you know what I mean!) :thumbup:
