Wanted to touch base been a long time since I was on I'm thinking that you might want to start picking out some fabric. Lets try picking up one & one/half yards of three different cornating fabrics I will start taking some pix soon to show you what to do next. Some Quilters like to wash their fabric before using it. Others perfer the crispness of new fabric. I perfer not to pre-wash my fabric. But I do suggest that you try to pre-wash just to compare. Although if you pre-wash one piece of fabric you must pre-wash all that your using in your quilt.
