I enjoy reading about members using and buying fabric. Plus the members who have restrained from going to fabric stories to buy fabric.

I instead have been buying some precut and uncut quilt kits from quilt stores off the internet. At the same time I do buy opps FQ’s kits to go along, in case I have miscuts. I have now bought my quota and need to get to making them fit my beds. I do buy extra fabric to help ensure they fit my beds. The excess yardage will go to my stash/scraps containers.

A few weeks ago, my niece asked for a Barbie doll quilt for her daughter. I checked several local quilt stores, no success. So I just googled for the cotton fabric and found several choices for the twin size quilt. So I bought the fabric. I probably have enough for the top and backing. I’m thinking of using the disappearing 9-patch pattern on 1 side. I’m thinking to use a panel on the back side with other coordinating fabrics to get the backing to the desired size. Then quilt both tops together for a reversible quilt. At least that’s how I plan at this moment. And if I have enough fabric make a few pillowcases.
