I've been buying from all over the place. I think you need to buy 100% cotton fabric. I've found some lovely ones on the tinternet too.

Beware it is a very expensive hobby - every time I go into a fabric shop I'm spending at least £15 - but that is because I need to build up my stash - apparently it a legal requirement to have a big stash of fabric :lol:

 

:D

So pretty. I recommend Cotton Patch - they are really helpful there, although most of my fabric comes from the US. Some of them are British fabrics exported and then I get them sent back for much less, including post and packaging - even customs duty, but it all depends on the exchange rate and that is not good at the moment. Just as well I have a housefull of fabric. It all started with a pretty peachy one with little birdies that I saw on holiday, then I was hooked. I just have to use it all now! :D

Oooo yes you should all make one along with me. :D

 

There's a great tutorial to make a crazy nine patch quilt here:

but I'm just doing it as a cushion. I've also only done my squares 6.5 inches which I think should then give me finished squares of 5 inches each, I then plan to add a border of 1.5 inches to give a finished cushion size of 18inches. Well that's the plan whether it turns out like that remains to be seen. :lol:

I was petty impressed with it too wild mum. I have added a sewing room to my wish list on my dream house now. :D Just need the right lotto numbers to come up now. :lol:

 

Have a look at the stash of fabric on this site (make sure you scroll down) - it belongs to Judy Martin - Amazing :D I love the way she has all her completed quilts hanging - they're not even on display :o
