The worst advice was in JoAnn's. I had brought in a pattern that I had printed from one of the websites. The clecks kept telling me that I needed to buy the colors of fabrics that were called for in the pattern.I never do that. I also usually change the placement of the blocks so I had a sheet of graph paper with me. The clerk told me that the quilt would be so ugly that no one would want it in their home. I sold it for $400.00 and that was for a full size quilt.A lot of people make and sell quilts in this part of Virginia so we can't sell them for as much as some of you in other states.
