I think I may just label myself as TSTL. In the spring I decided to take on Fancy Forest and reached out on this forum about if 17 yards of fabric made sense. Many of you responded " yes for the variety" and my quilt was a success for me.
Now, I bought what was needed for the "Blue Barn" pattern from Laundry Basket Quilts. Now the maybe TSTL part. The back of the pattern recommended the print fat qtr bundle and the batik fat qtr bundle. Got them. Going thru it today, I bought the 45 FQs of which only 14 are needed. I feel like a dim light bulb.
Plus, the pattern itself is so disappointing to me. The paper templates photocopied front and back, and some you have to tape the pieces together to get the full template. First you need to go the Staples to copy it before you even start. Is this typical? I've only bought the patterns for Fancy Forest (excellent) and from Missouri Star.
So, what do you look at in considering a new project. I really need to get better fast in this area.
Thanks for letting me rant abit, too.
