Choose your fabrics carefully and spend plenty of time at the fabric store to make sure they're exactly ideal. Shop the best deals and hunt for sales and coupons to make you feel like a real bargain shopper.
Cut all your fabric into strips, sew back together and then cut again. The point is to take fabric that's already seamlessly put together, cut it in several hundred pieces and sew everything back together, this time with seams....
Sew...
...and sew...
...and sew.
Make a midnight snack of cookie dough with mint m&m's (and by midnight, I literally mean midnight).
Go back to sewing (include lively conversation, if desired).
When the entire quilt is sewn back together, stretch tightly on the floor, stuff with batting and tie the back to the front.
Use every inch of available (or not so available) floor space.
Return to sewing.
Take a break from sewing to talk to your husband.
Use seven spools of thread in one day....
And finally, stand back and admire your work!
Our quilting marathon resulted in 6 finished quilts! (Only 5 pictured.)
For best results, repeat as soon as possible.
