... I don't want to waste my time on that learning curve by doing practice quilts. I'd like to learn on quilts that will be potentially given as a gift, so I want them all to look it's best.
Never a waste of time - lol. My first quilted projects were just fabric and batting. I practiced meandering. Then I used the fabric for quilted bags. I put the printed fabric on the bottom and the plain fabric on top so I could "see" my stitches and pattern. (posted two of them below)

I hope that makes sense.
It seems like a lot of time and $$ to have nothing to show for it. If nothing else - purchase some cute Juvenal fabric and donate it to Linus. - Just my honest recommendations!!
