I went to Jo-Anns last night and wanted to pick up the Kona musslin fabric. It was 8.99 a yard. I do have my coupon for 40 and one for 50 % off but was supprised to see it so much.....they had some for 1.99 a yard. What makes this so special? I wanted it for the Dear Jane quilt that I will be making...

I am using the Kona muslin and I know it was expensive, but I also used a coupon. I WOULD NOT use that cheep muslin!!! That is for foundations, Halloween costumes and other crafty uses.
Don't spend all the time in making this one of a kind quilt and use inferior muslin!! If you don't want to buy the Kona, at least buy the best of the other muslins, $3.99 or so!
Also, prewash!! Muslin will shrink alot!

I should get my background fabric soon. It is expensive (I got to take advantage of my quilt shop's 50% off if I buy an entire bolt), but quality fabric will feel so much better in our hands.
That's important since we will be playing with it for a 'l.o.n.g' time!
I'm on the hunt still for black/white fabrics. I'm having a hard time find small prints. Everything is big and bold. Bold is good, but big won't show on these small pieces.

JoJo,
I think you'll have to look at calicoes(sp?). They have the small prints.
Nancy, I never even thought about the shrinking!! Thanks for the heads up.
Norina, I agree that the Kona muslin is pretty steep, but it feels SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Anyway, I found at least 6 nice and small print black/whites and got 1/2 yard cuts. I know that won't be enough but at least I can get started on a block.
Have you made a template yet for your first block and if yes, which one did you choose? I've decided to not go in order....Must be the rebel in me! :P

A lady in my guild has finished her quilt and is passing along the cd to me!! WooHoo!!
JoJo, I haven't even washed my background yet. I just haven't had the time. I got a new computer for my quilting machine and it has fried my brain totally for the last week. :shock: :shock:
