this is one of my favorite dies. I went out and bought a lot of flannel; cut it and sewed the squares together and so now when ever someone (which is usually at the last minute) needs a quilt I go into my stash, pick out what squares match for that occassion and sew the blocks together and I have a quilt in no time. This makes my life so much eaiser. Sometimes I also applique designs on the back especially if it's for a baby. This way it's like a reversible quilt. Enjoy your toy and for all of you who don't have one; you should get one or get to know someone who does. I know that some of the stores rent their machines for like 20 an hour; if you are prepared you can make alot in an hour.
