Today is the first of June and it is time to start on the CW BOM sort of....sampler quilt. A group of ladies on the About.com quilting forum are getting together via the internet. Each one is going to make their own CW sampler quilt.
I have one set of 1/4 yard fabrics ready and another set in the wash. The tough decision is deciding which set of fabrics do I want to use first. I think that I will start with the green and orange fabrics first even though I like the brown and pink fabrics. It's a tough world out there!
Some of you might not know this but sometimes it is cheaper to buy a 1/4 yard of fabric than it is to buy a FQ(fat quarter). Just do the math. Look at the price it costs for a yard of fabric and divide it by 4. Say your fabric is $8.50/yd. It would be $2.13/quarter yd. Most of the FQ's sell at $2.50/FQ.
A lady who owns a LQS told me this. Imagine that!!!
Happy Quilting :~)
Lovely fabrics. Should get a photo of mine today. I really really wanted to use pink but the red and blue muscled in instead. I like the orange and green for the Jacob's ladder. I know! I get all 1/4 yards now. No more fat quarters and you have so much more fabric. The pattern takes up a surprisingly small amount of fabric so you will have heaps for other blocks.

Thanks. Your red and blue fabrics are going to look really nice too.
