That is if you are not fussy bout your fabric, I have always done scrap quilts and used whatever I come across,buying lots of 25 cent shirts and the like at yard sales lol. So if you don't mind scraps just pm me with your address, and I can send an envelope.

Welcome, all you have to do is decide to loose weight and tell us how you are doing. We are making ourselves a quilt to represent our weight loss. Most are making one block per pound. I am making a quilt that has leaves scattered around it.
Each leaf will represent each pound I lose.
I had 60 pounds to lose. At this time I have lost 15, tomorrow (Friday) is my weigh in day so I will post my loss. We also post if we gain or are the same. Last week I did not loose or gain. I was exactly the same.
You can do it I have faith in you!!!! One pound at a time. Sometimes one ounce at a time.
Yes, we celebrate all of our losses. Even and ounce is a victory.

I live from pay check to pay check and not even sure how to calculate how much fabric is needed. See really a newbie!!!!

I guess I better get going on my quilt I am down 17.6 pounds.
I love this site it keeps me going.
Thank you for helping me through this.
