I'm hoarding some beautiful fabrics, but not sure what to do with them since they would never be enough to "follow a pattern". When I return from Chicago this week to meet my 4th grandchild for the first time (one month old) I'm going to cut a bunch of 5-inch or 6-inch square and make a scrappy quilt and then finally work on my FMQ skills. I'm ready to advance forward. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
