I am just now starting to quilt, have actually made three whole blocks!!! Snowball blocks that I saw a 12 yr old make on You Tube. WooHoo, but at least it is a start. But with JoAnn's 50% off coupon I have been buying by the bolt. They are usually not full bolts but they never cost me more then $12-$14. I will either have a lot off nice quilts, etc. or a REALLY big stash for my family to give away when I die.
