    Okay if I make the quilt 11x11 in 10" tumblers it will be 110" x 110" and require 121 different AH fabrics. I am going to count mine tonight and see how many I have lol

    I <3 AH! I'm currently working on a Ghastlies quilt for my daughter. Just the other day I saw a picture of a quilt made with salvage scraps. It was really cool. I love that idea for the back.

    I'd love to see your ghastlies quilt . Well I have about 152 AH prints....think some may have to go on the back surrounding the selvedge squares....

    April........yes yes yes yes put the selvedge's on the back. That way you and anyone who will inherit will always know what was used in the quilt. I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this quilt. Will you please post pics here of your progress as you go along. I am jealous of all the AH fabrics you have. I have maybe 30 to 40 different AH fabrics. I must get more, so any of you, if you are looking to trade or sell some of your AH fabric I am your girl.

    Hugs,
    Melinda

    So, if you make it 11x13, and use the others in borders, you should be good to use them all up on the front!!! And I think using the selvages on the back is an awesome idea; for all quilts!!! lol.
