Winter is fast approaching, and I'm moving myself towards indoor activities that don't involve going outside! With that in mind I just purchased a copy of Barbara's book, which should be here in a few days. My question is simple. For a first kilt making attempt, is it easier to use a patterned material or one that has no repeating pattern? I'm asking now because I have a JoAnn Fabric's 50% off coupon that expires today!!
