Also any suggestions for cutting fabric for the Rag quilt I'm a little nervous to start.
I also made my first order to Cotton Loft and just received my fabric. It seemed to take 2-3 weeks to get it. Two of my four fabrics had apparently been sold out, but I am happy with the quality of the two that I did receive.
I don't know what to tell you about how much fabric to buy. I used scraps on my latest one. My squares were 7" and I used 6" batting for the inside. You can make them any size you want to. My quilt ended up being 90 squares (9 X 10) and is a nice size lap quilt. Hope this helps!
