I bought mine at one of the big box stores with a coupon but have also seen them at Wally World.

Thank you for the link. I see that i still have a lot to learn.

I love Eleanor Burns Quilt in a Day site for the templates for "fussy" cutting. They were a big help in my husbands douple Irish chain quilt rose blocks and in SIL's flannel wildlife quilt.

I would love to see the quilt picture please.
