My stash at ...Thanks, Jess; that was a great read.<br /><br />My stash at the moment consists of leftovers from the first quilting projects (we made four items from the same fabrics - two floor quilts and two change-table mats). I didn't know what I was doing and bought a yard of each of seven fabrics plus a fat quarter of five more to make a baby's floor quilt! I'm a bit tired of those fabrics now! We are using the leftovers to make drawstring bags to give away! The fabric all came from an Australian chain store; not good quality but we didn't know any better (then).<br /><br />I also have precut squares and border fabric for an "I Spy" quilt which I bought at an exhibition for charity last weekend.<br /><br />I think I'm a ripe candidate for Rebecca's Quilt Class 101!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-18923523162673742702011-04-07T15:32:59.452-04:002011-04-07T15:32:59.452-04:00Great tips.

I am washing them in warm and then drying them in hig heat in the dryer. They are a cotton/poly blend but I have already preshrunk them so they should work great.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317229252365458067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-17452722012332663432011-04-07T03:15:01.879-04:002011-04-07T03:15:01.879-04:00Thanks Jess for your tips.
