I bought a bolt of muslin and had about three yards left. I used it for all my background, sashings, scallops and backing. I did that so the die lot would be the same. It was natural color. I also used long strips to make my scallops so they weren't pieced. Looking foreward to seeing your progress! Pictures are always welcome!!!

Thanks so much for all the information. I think I will order a bolt from Hancocks. Neuturals are good for so many projects....maybe a case of more is better.

I lucked out and I found another coupon for 40% off at Joann's. I ordered 8 more yards of the Kona cotton in buttercup. That will give me a total of 15 yards so unless I waste a lot of material I should be all set.

Sounds good Losie! You should be good to go!

I put my Jane in the craft section of a small Agricultural Show today, and won First Prize! I am chuffed to bits - no ribbon, but I have a small certificate and won €40
I have it entered in a much larger Agricultural Show in two weeks time, and I've never been to it, so I have no idea what the 'competition' might be like - first prize in that one is a Brother NV10A - I don't really need another sewing machine, but I am sure my DD and granddaughters might like it, if I am lucky enough to win. If not, second prize is €50, third is €30, and fourth is €20. Who knows, I might be lucky again. |
Oh...I see that new machine in your future Lesley!!
I checked on our fair...1st prize is $3.00. Thats not much for me to risk leaving it somewhere out of my sight! |
Congratulations!!! You should do really well in the next one, too! Your Jane is stunning!
|
Aw, thanks ladies - its the first prize I have won for a quilt, so I do admit to a sense of achievement.
