My names Yvonne and I am 52. Recently quit my job to travel with my husband. My mother had taught me some of the basics of quilting and when she passed away I couldn't bring myself to quilt anymore until a dear friend of mine had her first baby and asked me to make her a baby quilt. I have discovered a love of quilting again. But...realized I have no idea how to piece very well!!! So, here I am...HELP!!! :)

I have attached the 3 that I have done so far. You will see that they are all very elementary in design and piecing!

So happy to be here and meet you all and look forward to learning and laughing together!

Welcome from central North Dakota, and you are going to love this board. I am fairly new here also, and am just amazed at the knowledge I have garnered here. So many great quilters, and willing to share their knowledge.
