[DEAR] JANE STICKLE CYBER BLOCK PARTY - Jan 2010 thru May/Jun 2011

I don't plan on buying the batting/backing until the end... no reason to, really, if you don't want to! :)
I'm going to send mine to a long-armer... someone who's done quilts for me before, so I'll have that expense, too. hehe

I'm with the quilters waiting to buy batting and backing until the end. By then, I'll be so jazzed to be on to the quilting that the cost is nothing in comparison. Plus, *bonus* I'll have more money to play with on the hunt for 30s repros. WOO HOO! Gotta love that!

As for the backing and batting, I won't wait that long. The price will be considerably higher. I've seen the price of good fabric go up anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 and even more depending on the saler. I can't buy anything in Jan but I will start looking for a good deal on a backing fabric. Does anyone know what batting they will be using. I feel that this is going to be a pretty heavy quilt top.

I think I will be using warm and natural it plays nice with the longarm and it doesn't fall apart when it is washed.

Well a couple more ten hour days at work then a nice long week end to get started on my first block. I tried to scan all these fabrics to place them but it takes forever I think I may just pick and sew and put them together as they go. I think it will look fine. Is everyone planning color placement or just as you make them?
