i just wanted to introduce myself. I am the daughter of a wonderful quilter who has never quilted!! Until now.... I think... My parents 40th wedding anniversary is coming up and I wanted to make them a wall hanging quilt as a gift. (This from the daughter that doesn't sew - my sister is very accomplished as well!) So I will probably have many questions as I start this journey. I will have about 5 months to do it!
Wish me luck!

Welcome and good luck on the wall hanging.
I made my in-laws a signature quilt (sent blocks to people to have them write their sentiments on). I embroidered every single one of them by hand. It was really emotional because by the time the party happened, 3 of the people, including my mil best friend, had passed away.
My advice is to make sure you have plenty of time! :lol:
Keep us posted,
