I made my own grandmother a beautiful quilt and some one stole it from her room. To this day I think it was one of the staff people who worked there. Also make sure you or your MIL take it home to be washed, do not let the nursing home take it to their laundry service. Good Luck to you on this wonderful gift for her.

K. I was misunderstanding the question.
Buy the fabric according to the directions. The "scraps" are yours to keep. Still ask MIL her opinion on the colors.
And...she's lonely. It's not that she needs help, she needs attention. Which is a whole 'nother topic. ;)[/quote]
I am taking MIL with me to Joanns to buy the fabric, and your right she's lonely, but thats her fault. She'd still be married if she wasn't such a b......., even DH says so.
anytime she starts a sentence out with "LISTEN, ...... we cring

Let her buy the fabric requirements. You'll have it for yourself or even a pillowcase. You're doing the work so reap some benefit other than a good feeling if you are putting other projects on the back burner. It wouldn't be wrong. We even occassionally make a mistake and do end needing more!

There is no reason in the world why you should not be able to keep the extra fabrics. After all it is YOUR time that you are putting forth in making this quilt. Just relax and have a fun time with it, This is what quilting is all about.

Shoot...she's still married? She's GOT someone to change a no-ladder-required bulb!
