But how do you know how much is needed if you're just buying it because you love it without a pattern in mind? :D Another question re: this. If you're just buying because you love it, how much do you usually buy--1/2, 3/4 , 1 yd?
At least a half yard and that is what got me into trouble! :lol: Now as I am looking at it, the pattern is really supposed to be a rag quilt so it is calling for 1/2 inch seam allowances. Duh! I probably will be able to have enough on one of the old fabrics if I am careful because I was 1/2" shy. Now both pieces of the block are 1/2" smaller, so I really have an extra 1/2" to work with. Cornfused yet? Me too! I have quit cutting for the night!
