Taking new quilters to Joanne's is fun.
We start out with a bolt of fabric that just sings to the person. Then we start to pull other bolts we think will look good and start a pile of bolts, one on top of the other. We stand back and look at a distance to see wht is not working and pull it out. And keep going until we have enough for our pattern. And half the fun is that others will soon join in if you let them with suggestions and comments!
Think of it as a fun time!
(After the quilter is more skillful, then I introduce them to the LQS!)
