Hi Everyone
I'm getting closer to my trip to town. About a month to go! :D I really like this quilt but I need your help being the newbie I am. I want to make a lap quilt. Not sure how much fabric I would need.(Making me a long list on everything I need) It needs to be roughly 50x60. Also what size squares would I use. I'm thinking 12" might be too big for a lap top. Any help would be great.
Now, the reason I'm looking for lap size quilts to make is because we have a organization here called Quilts for Cancer. I want to make and donate to this group. I can't get together with them because they meet during the day and I work. (I just hope my work is up to their standards :( ) This is why I'm trying to find easy quilts to make, but not ones that look like I gave them no thought. I can't quilt all the time so I have to go at my own pace. Slow ;)
Hubby was diagnosed with cancer when he was 39. He is now 45 and cancer free! My Mom was diagnosed 3 years ago. I could never imagine what one goes through when they get cancer. Now I know. I know how hard is was on them and I know what I went through living with someone who has it. I could have never imagined the stress. Thank the good Lord it's over! This is just something I feel I need to do.
I have a ton of of 4" squares. What would any of you do with them? I don't really have enough of any to get any type of pattern going. I have no idea what to do with a bunch of mismatched patterns.
Thanks to everyone

BTW- Has anyone checked out Overstock for quilting items? I did get my walking foot from them. Best price I could find just haven't tried it yet.
