    Are you using charm packs or fat quarters? If so, you can probably find the fabric by the yard and it won't be so expensive. If you're making it a queen size to fit your bed -- measure across and down to see if you really want to make it that large. :D

    I don't really know all the terms lol, But they come in a five pack together tied with a ribbon lol. It is five different colors of the same fabric. The whit back ground I intend to use for the binding/frame. I wonder where I could find it by the yard....hmmmm.

    Sounds like fat quarters -- they should measure about 18"x22"?? Check to see if on the edge of one of them in the selvedge area, there could be some writing. This will tell you who made the fabric and what the line is called and sometimes the year. If we know that, we can google it and possibly find it online. If they are cut at the LQS, ask them if they have yardage....

    another option is to keep going until you run out of fabric, add additional borders to increase size.
    Can't wait to see it completed! Keep up the good work; love the fabrics!

    Looking good! I think your choice of fabrics for this old favorite has really given it a "new" look!!

    Just saw your pretty quilt. Is it a Lightening Strike Pattern? Am interested in having directions.
