Hi ladies, I am a beginer. My name is Jenn,Ive tried to make a quilt in the past however with moving it got lost along with the pattern. Right now im just gathering ideas for making a fall quilt. Fall is my favorite season and I need something to keep my mind busy. An idea just hit me to maybe make a quilt out of my husbands old acu uniforms when he gets home from deployment. It will make the quilt that much more special. I come from a family of quilters however the ladies who quilt are no longer able to due to their age. I am lucky enough to have a quilt made for my 13th birthday. Since my grandmother wasnt able to teach me, I am having to somewhat teach my self via you tube and hopefully classes around town. :thumbup:

Welcome from Idaho! I think your quilt idea is awesome using your husbands old uniforms! You will learn a ton about quilting on this board. Ask questions if you have them. That is the best way to learn.
