Macy, that’s a great idea, cutting your outer edges a bit larger “just in case”. I have a small quilting room and it’s almost filled up with stash. I try not to buy much but it’s enough for my lifetime. lol. Some years ago I was presented with a couple of bins of batiks I’ve barely touched. I have lots of scraps but not much yardage. I don’t envy you having to move yours again.
Lstew, I’m sorry to hear about your aunt but it’s wonderful that your family got together to provide her with what I hope was a happy day for her. I was thinking this morning about my sister who died years ago. (The anniversary of her death is coming up in a few months.). We tried to make special events for her to ease her days. It helped her a bit.
