FMQ Practice - Batting and fabric is expensive, alternatives?
#41
I usually practice in real quilts for charity. My Guild gives out the fabric already cut, batting, back and binding. You grab the bag, make the quilt, finish it and give it back. My quilting is not perfect but good enough to present the quilt to someone. I have improved my quilting skills and of course I do quilt the quilts I finish so I guess I also practice in my own real quilts!

Ah!! Or,.. duh. I could just piece the batting like was mentioned. Wow, I gotta sleep more often.
I think there's a chance rectangular would really over challenge a newb like me at this point (one very simple quilt under my belt, a few quilted projects, mostly FMQ practice... I spend -way- too much time fixing vintage machines, and not enough using them. :-/)
That should make a pretty quick QAYG quilt too, I would think?
