Afghan Blocks ( experianced Knitters)?

My friend and I are knitting a afghan 100 squares each since she lives far away so we are mailing 50 squares to each other and sewing them together to make a afghan for both of us. We are making it out of Fun Fur, since those are small packs, how many packs of fun fun will make fifty squares? Since I have never made anything bigger than I scarf I wanted to make less trips as possible to Michaels.
Sorry about the many spelling errors

Have you ever worked with Fun Fur before? It is a little difficult to work with you may want to rethink your project. It's especially hard to sew together becaus e it is difficult to aee the stitches. In any case the easiest way to figure out how much yarn to use would be to make 1 square and see how much it took, then multiply by 50.

Create a Memory Quilt for Your Wall

You could recreate pieces of clothing into a valuable artwork and a souvenir. This could be perhaps the greatest gift you could either give or get as a mother. You could easily create your memory quilts with the assistance of several local quilt shops. These offer quilt-making classes from beginning to the end, provided you already know the usage of a sewing machine. If sewing and quilting is not exactly your forte, these shops may help you to find someone who will allow you to help designing the quilt and create it too. Nothing can be more enjoyable then creating a unique memory quilt wall hanging. This quilting project is truly fulfilling.

If you wish to make your memory quilt extra special then do consider several points like:

• Being choosy-discarding a defective item with holes or stains is unwise. Any item may contain a fabric that you could use. You need not use the entire garment. However, you must select those items that evoke fond memories in you.

• Being creative-if your wish that your quilt looks unusual then start thinking differently. Leave squares aside except those that are to be used to square up the sides to get straight edges. You can use the bottom of a dress, round edges of sleeves or any kind of imaginable shapes inside the quilt.

• Being far-sighted-you must experiment by laying all the items on a design wall, the floor or on a large tabletop. This is done to get the final picture of the finished product. You must allow yourself the option of making changes while you can. So, go by the cardinal rule of ' measure twice and cut once.' This ruled is followed by the carpenters and the quilters alike. Hence, without actually cutting the clothes simply overlay them first.

• Being sensitive to children-avoid cutting up something your child is emotionally attached to. Cutting the item in front of the child may cause trauma. So, if the item has been out of sight and mind of the child for quite sometime, it is safe to be used.

• Using textures in your favor-various fabrics are available that offers different types of surface to the quilt like cottons and mix flannels or even fur collar from coats. Most people want the material to feel good when touching it.

• Using pictures-scan the photograph of your child in a particular outfit into a computer. Then use an inkjet printer to print the photo on the fabric especially made for this printer. After this cut out the photo fabric to include it in your quilt. You can do this by sewing it upon that same outfit in the picture.

• Using stabilizing fabrics-ironing and sewing stretchable fabrics on these will ensure that your quilt does not lose its shape. Plus, you can work easily on them as well.

• Having fun while creating- your finished quilt is likely to look more loveable if you have loads of fun when creating it. After all, you must remember that it is an artwork of love!
