When's the last time anyone heard a phone number like that? Last time for me was in the late 60's in Detroit Michigan. I use the yard sticks as a frame. since I make so many scrap quilts, it helps me with size. .. Before that, I made a couple too long , but not wide enough, think of a super long twiggy not quite twin.
I just love the yardstick idea! I always see pretty colored ones at the store = I think I'll get a bunch in all different colors to frame my board. Pretty AND practical!
