I received an amazing quilt for my baby as a baby gift and it was lost by a friend. I'm heartbroken to say the least. Is there anyone out there who I can hire to recreate this quilt? It used the Wee Play Sandy Klop design fabrics. I have pictures of it that we could use to try to recreate it. Please let me know! My email is nchettlinger@gmail.com<br />Thank you!<br />NoelleNoƫlle Hettlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756822012195168550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-22932844251381860422009-04-27T21:55:00.000-05:002009-04-27T21:55:00.000-05:00wee play is my favorite...still well and shangrila...wee play is my favorite...still well and shangrila...<br />i totally cut my back and batting just right to save fabric. makes my quilty friend really miffed but when i do it myself it doesn't really matter!V and Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05918125950742564164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-73951736863440330072009-04-26T19:39:00.000-05:002009-04-26T19:39:00.000-05:00oh, I've totally done that before in an effort to ...oh, I've totally done that before in an effort to save money :)Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899925801318375926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-25800498880921005492009-04-26T14:31:00.000-05:002009-04-26T14:31:00.000-05:00Squeal!!!!

When I do my own quilting on my own small machine, I don't need much extra. I think it makes a difference too if you only quilt it lightly. If you do have wide strips left over, it's still new fabric and can be saved for binding on another quilt.

This morning I learned that you must ensure that there are no basting pins stuck inside the quilt sandwich (I don't know how it got there!) as you will stitch over it and then taking it out becomes a bit of a problem!<br /><br />No fabric for 58 days!
