My sister in law went for a visit down south (Alabama), I live in Ohio, she purchased a package of pre-cut 6 inch squares there were 4 sent in a package, she purchased them very inexpensive. Well, one set matched a set of sheets I recently purchased for my daughter. I asked to buy them from her and I would try to make quilt. She gave them to me I purchased the matching solid colors and used the top bed sheet for a backing, I tied the quilt. That was about 20 years ago. I am still quilting, not the best but I manage. I have no friends that quilt and everything I have learned is self taught.
