I'm going to have a go at this quilting malarkey. I already have lots of scrap material from my dressmaking exploits so as soon as I can count on a reasonable length of time to myself I shall make a start. I'm looking forward to the quilting bit :O)
Fantastic! all I need is 1080 squares for my bed and I have only 250 so far! off to charity shop tomorrow to see what they have, thanks so much for posting that for me xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Try starting a swop by telling on your blog what size squares you need .
In Leicester there is the' fabric guild ' they have a web site but fill a car with like minded friends . The fabric is so cheap and it is real patchwork fabric , put Kisco in your google bar and go from there--cottonreel
hi cotton reel, i don't pay for anything as i'm temporarily skint (until 2012) all my fabric so far is from stuff they can't sell at the hospice shop and the scrap store - i'm going to start sewing some strips together - i've cut every square myself so far - i got the cutting board, rotary cutter and ruler from ebay, used by someone who didn't get on with quilting - i've put a shout out on freecyle for floral material and will get some more soon. cheers froogs ccccccc
I do wish I had time to learn to do that! Maybe next year.
Gorgeous! It looks like so much fun!

Lovely. I know there's a quilt exhibition near you at Eyres Monsell Baptist Church on 6th/7th August. Are you going to it??
