Cutting question

[Irene F.]

Has anyone starting thinking about purchasing the backing fabric for the 2014 BOM quilt? I looked for several of the fabrics included with the kit and was unable to locate any. Any idea where I might find one of the fabrics used in the quilt? Also, how much do I need? Thanks. Irene

Janet, Thank you for providing the measurements for the border and the sashing. I feel more comfortable knowing these measurements so that I can plan my fabric selection. Marie

Janet, I loved your show and all your quilts. Simply amazing work. Do you happen to know if the kit includes enough fabric to make the blocks and such things as the flying geese units oversized so they can be cut to size as you suggest? This is my first attempt at a BOM and am so nervous that I will mess it up. Also I've never ripped fabric and not really sure I know how. Again, did you know if there is enough fabric in the kit to accommodate that?

Quiltea, watch show 305 for "stripping" lessons.

If you mess something up really badly, you can always get more fabric!

Thank you so much Sue for the show info for stripping. Well I guess you're right, I need to stop being afraid and just jump in there. It won't be the end of the world if I mess up. More fabric is a good thing. The support from fellow Quilt Show members is invaluable. Thanks again.
