Well I guess I should give an update considering I've commenting again.
I've managed to make a few sets of pot holders. But my main focus right now is making a blue jean quilt. It will be a wedding gift and the wedding is Sept 5. So I really need to work hard to get this done. But as a back up plan if I run out of time I will give her a set of pot holders to open with a pic of the almost finished quilt. The bride has requested this so she knows I'm working on it. In fact she gave me some of the jeans to cut up.
Right after that I have 2 top sheets that I have to turn into bottom sheets. They are a type of micro fleece, really soft. My friend doesn't use top sheets. So when she bought two sets she sold me the top sheets for half price. So once I sew the one to a bottom sheet I'll have a complete set for one of the kids too. I love her when she buys sheets. Anyone have ideas on this? Do I actually have to measure and cut or can I just do it? I know looking for the easy way out. I'ld never consider that with quilting though....lol Thanx Joanna
