I am a design major, yes? I work with layout and type, yes? I use COMPUTER programs like Adobe Photoshop, okay? Why, why, oh WHY does this HISTORY of Western Textiles class REQUIRE me to make a bloody QUILT? And out of USED textiles, by God! How on Earth is a VISUAL COMMUNICATION major supposed to find this stuff? I can't even hem a PILLOW CASE and now they want me to learn how to applique, piercing, and trapunto? I don't even RECOGNIZE those words!
I'm wigging out and crying hopelessly right now. I don't need this stress in what's supposed to be a LECTURE class! I'm already taking TWO other studios! And ANOTHER history class. T^T
You can bet I'll be waiting outside the design advisers' office first thing tomorrow morning hoping to drop.

I've only sewed one or two things in my life, and it was just simple stuff, but quilting IS simple. It's all straight lines and no attaching sleeves to sleeveholes only to find out that they don't match up. >.<
I think what I'm trying to say is, if you end up sticking out the class, I do live with a fashion major. ^^; He doesn't always make sense, but sometimes he provides useful information. :)
Oh, and lastly, used fabric = thrift store. ^.~ I think the idea here is that most quilting was done to recycle bits of old garments that were no longer wearable. Of course, these days quilting squares come in pre-cut perfect sized squares for the lazy quilter. *headshake*
