Your quilt, your choice. Recently, a new member of our guild made a lovely quilt with scraps from her poly suitings. Not my choice, because I don't care for the feel, but it worked for her and she could afford it on a very limited income. She got lots of praise from the guild for her work, as she deserved.

The lady asked for your advice and you gave it....and I think if this lady wants to be a quilter, you just gave her the beginning rule.
I wouldn't feel bad at all about your suggestions, no doubt she will be very happy with them for any of her future projects. |

I would love to see some of those quilts made from different fabrics. I dont even think you would be able to tell with just a picture if you didnt say anything.

I have really enjoyed reading this thread...and learning a lot from it. Thank you, everyone!
