In this show I am making a really simple, easy to make patchwork baby quilt!
Me: Rachel
I am a 22-year-old Christ Follower and stay at home wife who works part-time for Tennessee Farmers Cooperative in Communications. I also have a video netcast, Life:Frugal and Simple where I cover frugal and simple living topics!! I have been married three years to my love, John David! He is Media Director at our church and we are so thrilled that God is using his talents!! God has blessed our marriage and I am always in awe of his hand in our lives! We live a simple life and live frugally, which are the main themes of this blog. We are debt free, minus our home, and live under John David's income so I can stay home with our future little ones and so we can give and bless others!! We are excited about what the future has in store and how God is going to use us!!

Another great episode. Maybe one day I'll have the time to start one. To save time cutting your squares you should get a rotary cutter and pad. They'e not too expensive. If you shop at JoAnn's Fabrics or Michaels, they always have(40-50% off)coupons out. I caught a glipse of your curtains in the video. Can you post a picture of a whole window top to bottom so I can see how they turned out?
The fabric should not really be stretched. The bias edge will stretch out of shape and your rows could end up different lengths. I recommend instead that you iron the blocks after sewing. Press to the dark color. Also, make sure you are sewing with a 1/4" seam. This is very important in quilting, particularly when you start making piece blocks. I recommend going to http://www.quilterscache.com/ for free patterns. Also, there are LOTS of tutorials on youtube about quilting.
Here is just one:
