Good Luck!
Yes, M'Liss Rae Hawley's book is the one I used for the Woven Ribbons Quilt (mentioned earlier in this thread). I was very happy with that one.

When I first began quilting, I ordered from Quilter's Paradise when they had their Fat Quarter Frenzies - I didn't get to choose my FQs but they wound up being about a $1 each and I thought it a good way to build up some stash. There are quite a lot that I may never use as they aren't really my taste but I've used many in smaller projects and I'm really glad to have them. I think as I become more experienced I might find more ways to use them.
