The pattern calls for Fat Quarters and I am a very literal person! :)
I thought to get the variety I wanted - 12 different patterns - this was more efficient. If the shop sells by the 1/4 yard it would be better to do that?
To be sure they coordinated I thought getting a FQ bundle was the way to go.
But ... I'm trainable!
Quilting - a retired teacher has her own machine, has been quilting her own projects, but when I ran into her at the quilt shop recently she said she was ready to start quilting for others and to give her a call if I wanted to see about using her. My skills are limited to Stitch NEAR a ditch and diagonal lines. I doubt it would be custom. She's out of town playing with a new grandbaby, but I've sent her an email to see what she would charge. So ... dunno! If it's more like $40 - $60 -- even better!
