Kinda like the extra fabric will be for my time. You should also know that this woman MIL is very needy and is coming to us (me and DH) for everyting. Like having DH come over and change a light bulb over the stove no ladder needed. We live 25 miles away. She even has called us to come take the groceries out of her trunk cause she was too wore out from shopping. I guess I'm kinda venting on you good people. sorry
K. I was misunderstanding the question.
Buy the fabric according to the directions. The "scraps" are yours to keep. Still ask MIL her opinion on the colors.
And...she's lonely. It's not that she needs help, she needs attention. Which is a whole 'nother topic. ;)
