Half a day. So easy. 3 metres of fabric. Vogue 1410.

Exciting!
Remember, keep instructions simple.
Can't wait to start.

I've made about ten cot sized quilts. Mostly as gifts for family and work colleagues babies. I've made one double sized one, which was a very ambitious challenge before I knew what I was doing. That hangs on the wall by the stairs. I've got two half made ones, I've tops done but no backing. They have no home, so probably why I haven't finished them.
I see the cost of making them equivalent to the money some people spend on nights in the pub and packets of cigarettes, ie disposable. My thought is, if I do end up with too many, I can figure out how ebay works and sell them. Any return must be better than feeling resentful of their storage problems.

Thanks everybody for your input. I had half an idea that would be the verdict 
But not to worry, I have some viscose being delivered soon 

Welcome.

My daughter bought me a bag from Joe Browns last Xmas. The zip broke about the second time of using it. I put it away and forgot about it.
I noticed it today and thought I'd do something about it. I took out the old zip, put in a new. Was feeling rather pleased with my clever little self til I realised I hadn't reattached the strap. So I've bodged the strap back on. Ah well. Another reminder to think things through and not just jump in all hung Ho.

I'm hoping to catch up several months worth now that school is finished for a while.

Hello there! Welcome to our happy new home.
