Hi, ya'll. My name is Shaylee and I stumbled across this site and
decided to join. I was hit by a drunk driver about 18 months ago, right
after Christmas. It pulled and wrenched several muscles, broke my collar
bone, gave me short term memory loss, and messed up my neck so bad that
the pain has been constant. The good news is....my neck pain had subsided
the past couple of weeks and I have decided to start quilting again. I
want to make my soon to be three year old a quilt using 6 inch bright
fabric squares with animals on them. Anyone know of some good sources that
maybe I can get some 6 inch squares without buying yardage. I already
looked on my (and most peoples) favorite auction site. I have to work
fast, his birthday is the middle of October and I only got the idea
surfing images of quilts and he kept pointing out the brightest ones. I
would like to make my oldest one a dinosaur quilt for the holidays, but
the birthday quilt is a priority.
I am in my late 20's but have been quilting half of my life. Just not
the past year and a half. It feels great to want to do something, anything
again. If anyone has any ideas on getting all this fabric together in the
next couple of weeks, please e mail me. Bright Wishes...Shaylee

Welcome! Glad to hear you're recovering from such a horrible
experience, and that you feel like quilting again.
This group is probably your best source! I don't have a lot of novelty
fabrics, but if you send me your address privately, I'll see what's in
the stash. Probably can come up with a few squares.

Sorry I can't help you with novelty fabrics - not something I ever buy,
I'm afraid. But welcome to the group. Hopefully, now that you are
recovering you'll be moving on to other pieces once you have finished
your son's quilt; I might be able to help then, as will many others I'm
sure, with tips and answers etc.
