My "mountain of fabric" is a collection that is 10 years in the making. <br /><br />I select and purchase fabric at retail prices both online and from my local store. I have never contacted a fabric company for fabric, and although several companies (and designers) occasionally send me fabric I'd say that 99.9% of my fabric stash is funded by myself. <br /><br />A great way to enhance your fabric stash is to join a Flickr Swap Group, and there are numerous:<br /> <br />http://www.flickr.com/search/groups/?q=fabric+swap <br /><br /><br /><br />Red Pepper Quilts - Rita Hodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146251579528285964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-47030569018333907612013-05-24T11:24:40.362+10:002013-05-24T11:24:40.362+10:00Love your fabric.

I've been wanting to ask you - how do you make the corners match *perfectly* throughout the entire quilt top? I know a lot of it has to do with practice, but do you have any tips on how to keep everything squared perfectly?<br /><br />I still use your tip on modern log cabin squares - cut the logs a bit wide, and then trim them as I go. It's made a world of difference in my quilt tops, and makes them look so professional!! Definitely my favorite quilt block - thanks for your tip. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
