(sometimes the punt gives you a much better result than if you stuck with your original fabric)kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-57700684851899087322014-05-05T18:36:39.698-04:002014-05-05T18:36:39.698-04:00In your book, do you talk about calculating yardag...In your book, do you talk about calculating yardage? Sometimes I want "x size of quilt for Person". Then I fiddle with the design idea for a while, begin to implement, run out of fabric (two ro three times), then eventually finish. I'm not looking for super specifics like"1 5/8 yds for color A", I'm more thinking about "Is this pile big enough". Drives me nuts to have to keep going back to the store when I'm on a roll.<br /><br />Looking forward to the 'bonus' chapters!Leigh in Portland (we are not burning down)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06372544021604211747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-20214939594469715682014-05-05T15:59:43.889-04:002014-05-05T15:59:43.889-04:00yes! thank you! i'm looking forward to these h...yes! thank you! i'm looking forward to these how-tos!d r e whttp://andrewsteinbrecher.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-38084815174202962792014-05-05T10:33:38.669-04:002014-05-05T10:33:38.669-04:00I've already learned a lot from your technique...I've already learned a lot from your technique-based posts in the past.
