I have a very modern home. I need ideas on how to display my quilts. I am also wondering what people do with smaller quilts. I see a lot of patterns for 54 x 54 square quilts and I think they are cute but have no idea what I would do with one that small. Most of the quilts that I have made are being used and not put away in a closet.
I love watching your podcasts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hello Sherri and Chelsi.
I love your new Balboa collection and would like to purchase it but here in Canada it’s not easy to find and the price here is very high. My question is which precut would be the most beneficial to purchase in order to make some nice quilt or quilts.
Love your pod cast !

I would say fat eighths or fat quarters if you plan to make a bigger quilt. They are the most versatile and cost effective.
