I did many Project Linus quilts during the first year of COVID. I tried to go for the teen size too and something that is not screaming princesses and flora. More geometric and something beautifully odd like black and white with an orange or royal blue pop. I was fortunate enough to have stash to pull from. I did some serious damage to my stash and kept busy and engaged with life.
I recently shopped the bargain shelves at one of my local quilt shops and found an end of bolt cut of high quality fabric for $5 a yard bought it all and backed and bound a quilt for about $20. I did see some bolts as low as $3.50. This seem reasonable to me for a donation quilt.
Happy quilting from another Linda.
I know that other quilters cruse Goodwill regularly, but I will return to my LQS looking for major discounts on end of bolt pieces.
