Almost done another smaller quilt, doing some of my own ideas. <br /><br />You have also challenged my ideas of color! and though it is hard for me to 'get out of my box' I am slowly peeking over the edge and actually think I might climb right out one day soon!<br /><br />I hope you do this class again.....Grandma Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770351296878161488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-15233437310314696722011-03-14T04:51:32.956-07:002011-03-14T04:51:32.956-07:00That's a great tip, and I can confirm that it ...That's a great tip, and I can confirm that it works!

My one beef is that since I am in Canada like you, it takes about 3 weeks to get anything, so then another 3 weeks after that to get the yardage of the stuff I am coveting!Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883718447957850898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-42941590805911932122011-03-11T16:40:34.943-08:002011-03-11T16:40:34.943-08:00The charm pack tip is great for deciding whether t...The charm pack tip is great for deciding whether to get yardage or not! I also like to get one when I see a new line I think I'm "in love" with because then I can see if I really want to fork over the money for a FQ set or just get a few of the key prints I really like. I almost always decide not to get the FQs but am glad to have the charms for little projects.Kelly Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032288461580311764noreply@blogger.com
