I think this may have been discussed before, but I can't seem to find it, so I'm asking. What's an easy way to figure out how much fabric will be needed to make a quilt top when you're using a pattern for one block such as from quilterscache? The patterns just list the exact size to cut the pieces from each fabric. Thanks much, carol/kittyquilt

Mary, I have Mozilla by Firefox as a browser. I can tell you how I do it:

Click on the link I have posted.

At the top, click on "Bookmarks"

click on "Bookmark This Page"

a little window will pop up requesting information.

You can change the name to help you remember what it is. You can also select your location. I have a file called "Quilts".

When you have finished, click "Done".

I hope this helps. I can't talk you through it with another browser.

Evie, thank you so so much! That is exactly what I needed. You're a dear! Hugs, carol/kittyquilt

Rosebud3, I used to know how to set favorites when I had Internet Explorer 7. However, I now have IE 8 and I'm lost! I tried to set a favorite last night and oh my, the website is in a really weird place! I have to get lessons from DH!

If you post what browser you have, someone I'm sure can tell you, unless you have Firefox, then you're all set. I would suggest you may start a new discussion rather than post in this one since the topic is totally different than what you're looking for. Just a suggestion. HUGS, carol/kittyquilt
