Shes heard me say I've cut two quilts at a time. I just lay the fabric on top of each other. I'll make one and save the other for later. It's interesting how different quilts can look by just changing the fabric. I have years of quilting behind me. No way would I suggest to a beginner to do what I do. I think she just wants to do this without any basic knowledge. She has always said that it's easy to make a quilt. (she has never made one).
