Thank you all so very much! I have a birthday coming up, so I'll decide on something before then. I do think I need a bit more time to determine what features will be important to me in the future....

I bought Charm School by Vanessa Goertzen, and I absolutely love it. I haven't been quilting very long, but every pattern in there is extremely doable, very pretty, and well-explained.

Background fabric by the bolt?

Do most of you buy background fabric by the bolt? And is it cheaper that way? Where do you order it from? What I'm finding is sold as yardage, and no discount is offered.
