Step 1: Observe beautiful fabric and decide you're going to cut the crap out of it.(and not be afraid)
Step 2: Cut 5 of the 8 fat quarters into 6 1-2 inch squares. Randomly sew squares together. (you are becoming less scared of beautiful EXPENSIVE fabric)
Step 3: Get crazy and cut triangles. (You are now a brave, fabric cutting goddess)
Step 4: Randomly sew triangle halves together. Ta Da!! Now realize you don't have enough fabric to make anything bigger then a baby blanket and fret about ordering more beautiful, EXPENSIVE Amy Butler on-line....(to be continued).

Ta Da!!! is right! Look at those pretty four squares... look at how those seams match... look at the pretty triangles... look at how those seems match!!! Looks great! If you use sashing and/or a wide border you won't need quite so much more fabric.
I was squaring up like crazy and nesting my seams like a mad woman!It took me all day to get 13 squares done. thanks for the early morning tip and all youe encouragement!
Looks great Karen, you are a quilter.
How's the flooding ?
It's ON SALE woman!!!
I can pick you up some more so you can make a bigger blanket.....also, I see that you didn't use the darker color.
Maybe I can trade that for more of the patterns u like???
I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MARY! Catch up! It's NOT a blanket! Geez. But I guess if you're going to get Karen more fabric you can call it anything you want.
....yeah, Mary...what she said! It's a QUILT!

Hey-what's LMOA? Out of the loop, Mom
Oh-I see I messed up the order of the letters. What will we do with me? Mom PS No laughing at me!
Laughing My A%% Off Another one is ROFL - Rolling On Floor Laughing. Mary, your mom needs a cheat sheet. And when you send it to her you can send a copy to me... I only know a couple more than she does. Well, Pat, at least our VCRs don't flash 12:00 constantly 'cause we don't know how to work them. Course noboby has VCRs anymore. I give - we can't keep up... back to quilting.
