We've all done that......when I first started quilting, I bought a pattern, cut out the fabric per instructions, bagged and tagged everything. Then we started moving from Wisconsin back to Alabama, and then my DH had a heart attack. Long story, but after a year, we finally got to finish the move. Anyway, that pattern and fabric were in the first boxed things we moved back to Ala., and I finally found them just about 5 yrs. to the day after we brought them back and stored them here. Now to find the directions........they're here somewhere.......
