LOL Working in a quilt shop I get "how much fabric will I need to make a quilt?" a lot.
I explain about it depending on size, pattern, etc., then there is a pause. Then "It'll have some triangles/diamonds/rectangles/etc in it about yay big (gesturing with hands) but I'm not sure what else. So... how much will I need?"...
Also for *every* quilt I make - or even talk about making - (and I am not particularly prolific - I tend to handsew/quilt so it takes a long time) my M-I-L demands to know who I'm making it for. Because I must give all of them away. Sorry but I am allowed to keep some quilts for myself. Or all if I choose (tho I don't). And for those thinking that she is hinting she wants one - trust me, she isn't. She is a "but I don't need one of those and if I did want one I would get it from Walmart" type. I've experienced this with other things. Not that we have Walmart, but you get the idea!!
Some people have no clue
