When I mentioned I needed a bolt of fabric for the background to hubby, I thought he was going to have an aneurism right then and there. (We need an icon of a smilie hiding under a chair!) According to him, there isn't a quilt out there that requires that much for background. Then he told me the king sized quilt I have on the guest bed only took about 6 yards of fabric to make. ...Um... ROFLMBO!!!! I tried to patiently explain it had more like 20 yards of fabric in it. All I got was a glare; at which time I retreated to my quilt room for some therapy.
So how did he come up with THAT amount? Maybe - if he doesn't get overly ----
he could "explain" it to you ????
