I feel so much better when it is an even numbered year. I am actually not superstitious. I have enjoyed reading your blog and have made 3 drawstring bags from your pattern (which I purchased a few weeks ago). I have been inspired to collect some vintage sheets and have been working them into my projects.

I checked out your sponsors...Happy New Year, Jeni!<br /><br />I checked out your sponsors and I'm excited to try them out soon (well, as soon as I can smuggle more fabric into the house without my husband noticing!). But seriously, after my favorite local quilt shop closed a few years ago I started shopping for quilting fabric online with Born to Quilt, which has disappeared from the internet, and eQuilter, where most fabric is a 1/2 yard minimum. Since I like to use lots of different fabrics in each project, having to buy a half yard of everything means that most of each fabric goes in the stash versus in the quilt. So your sponsors are going to help me with one of MY goals, which is to rein in the fabric spending without compromising my projects -- the fat quarter packs are going to be a much better way for me to make sure I have lots of goodies to quilt with, but in more manageable quantities!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-76694052126749470212012-01-09T11:10:31.151-05:002012-01-09T11:10:31.151-05:00Jen, do you know about Ravelry? it's an online...Jen, do you know about Ravelry? it's an online community of knitters and crocheters, (Ravelry.com), check it out!

Would it be good to cut a bunch of 6 in. Squares of background fabric or will the square size be varying? Do you have any tips for squaring up squares?
