A friend loves quilts and wanted me to make her one while she 'watched'. Well if you have the time to sit and watch you have the time to 'do'... reading the patterns instructions confused her math skills a wee bit. Whats a yard? Well I wrote down the amts of each fabric she would need. Off she went to buy 4 fabrics . We needed 2 2/3rd 1 1/3rd -1 1/2 and another 1 1/2. - She came back with 2yds - 2yds - 1 yd and 2 yds. She rounded them off to make it easier for the girl cutting the fabric. Well she learned a few lessons that day. Always get the exact measurements-cutting is cutting at any length. And Patience is a virtue. She only had to wait an hour for me to go shopping with her. So now she knows that money really does not grow on tree's. 2of the fabrics were nasty ravelers and set her back $36.
