I won't be using a pattern just nine patches (I think you call it) I have never taken a class just wing it kind of thing) The one large quilt I made I used 2 1/2 squares and made into log strips. It came out very uneven and now I know why. I try to learn from the ladies here. I know I will never be an expert but I am having fun. I would like to take a class on quilting but I am afraid I will look silly.

That's a great idea about the skirts at GW. I go there to buy sheets and other larger pieces of fabric but didn't think about a large woman's skirt having lots of good cotton fabric. Thanks!

Should turn out great. Unfortunately for me I have a hard time with scrappy. I have to use paper bags and just sew what I pull out unless it is the same fabric.

There are always a lot of bed dust ruffles and they have a lot of fabric, usually cheap!
