Absolutely!! It would be perfect.

the lqs near my work has a buck a block quilt that they offer in two colorways. i bought both. i figure i cando all the blocs and then find a coordinating fabric at joann's with a coupon or even walmart. all in all it shouldn't be more than $30 for a lap or twin size quilt top!

go to used book stores and buy quilting books, less than $1.00 each and some of the books were $24.95 each original price

Keep all extras of batting larger pieces for QAYG wallhangings or bing together for smaller Quilts, toss all scrappies into bins larger @ smaller pieces. And chain stitch as often as possible. Paper bags for templates, old candy, cookie tins for all the small stuff (w/a label) no fun going thur 10 tins for spool of thread :)
Good Ideas above !!

I make crumb borders along with NEVER paying more than 3.99 a yard for anything and that is pricy for me, I use lots of scraps,buy old curtians and things at good will and yard sales etc.this pic dont show it well but I sew all the little pieces into a border.

I love to go to garage sales and thrift stores, to find books, magazines, fabrics, and patterns. Also check the classifieds here, I have gotten some really inexpensive magazines, ect. Even traded a few people for fabric, and that was SO fun!

I am resisting the urge to ask how much fabric you get per person?

if some one offers me something i take go threw and see what i can use or might use the other i give away

First thing you do is go to this website. Bonnie Hunter is the Queen of recycled fabrics for quilts.

My biggest $$ saving tip would be to stay completely away from the vintage machines!! :lol: (They are SO addictive!!)
