I love using up my stash so I will count whatever I have as a fat quarter and use accordingly. I am starting a polka dot quilt soon and have everything from yardage to layer cake. I am just going to start cutting until I've got the number of pieces the sizes they say in the pattern. If I have more scraps left over, I'll just make the quilt bigger! Gosh! I will be so glad to get rid of those scraps!
