Now, my new minimum "Cuz it's pretty" cut is 4 yards.
Why not 7? :lol: :lol:
Cuz [1] I am cheap, and [2] most quilts have 3 to 4 colors/fabrics in them. So the chances of needing more than 4 yards is fairly slim.
This one pattern "Chained 9 Patch" that I fell in love with and decided it MUST have this one color as the background, is mostly 2 colors, and I'm not doing the paper piecing it suggests. I found another way, and already tried it out on a quilted carrying case for my cutting board. Pictures later.
What a darling puppy Amy!!!
