The fabric for Quilt Minnesota 2012 is all about the outdoors -- obviously. We love our little piece of the world up here and with 10,000 lakes, boats are a given. Our state bird, the loon, is also a featured player. I really like the woodsy feel that these fabrics bring every year and I faithfully purchase some of these Northwoods themed fabrics every year. Since they are outdoorsy all the way, the quilts I make with these fabrics tend to go to the men in my family.
Because fabric costs have risen quite a bit this year, I didn't purchase as much fabric as I have in years past on my annual Shop Hop. This means I have to be a bit more frugal when it comes to actually making my blocks. I want to get at least a full-size quilt out of the yardage. I know I have enough to do this, but there can be absolutely no waste.
So, here's my challenge to myself. I am going to create this quilt with as little throw away as possible. Since I'm working with printed panels with 11"x15" and 5"x5" pictures, I may be biting off more than I can chew...
