Need advice on fabric/pattern
I am an inexperienced quilter. I have fabric that's been given to me but I don't know what to do with it. I don't even know how to measure the pieces I've been given. I've make a few quilts but always had a pattern and then bought the fabric as directed in the directions. To have the fabric first seems backwards and I can't figure it out. What if I choose a pattern and get almost done just to find out I don't have enough. Since it was given to me I can't just go buy more. Help!
