Ever since I saw <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/88094363@N03/8058183357/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">THIS</a> quilt I have longed to do an orange quilt though.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how much it costs to make a quilt. And I have people offer to pay me to make one, and they would probably faint at what just the materials cost. <br /><br />I like the fabrics...they would make good kitchen curtains.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832295732819342873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-1391461450371682432013-01-03T09:29:12.613-05:002013-01-03T09:29:12.613-05:00What a cute block!!

I like to buy curtains, tablecloths and sheets at the thrift stores and cut them up for yardage (so much cheaper). I find actual yardage there as well - although good cotton is harder to come by.

When I started quilting, back in the early 90's (1990's, I might add) it was a reasonable craft now it is like a major investment. I like the fabrics, I bought some a while back quite similar to make placemats from. I haven't sewn with orange but I did buy a variety of oranges a while back on sale because I like the punch they add -- sort of like a bit of yellow. Don't worry about 2013 being "that" sort of a year -- you just need to start out with a new laptop!Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-37915856703757106482013-01-03T05:54:53.011-05:002013-01-03T05:54:53.011-05:00So sorry about your lap top.
