I have no idea how to quilt but beloved quilt went missing and Im on a mission to replace it. I have three children ages 14, 10, & 6. My husband works out of town a lot so I have loads of time on my hands to learn.
I have no idea where to start. So far I have decided Im in love with Breakfast at Tiffany's by Moda for my fabric choice.

French hand sewing by machine in my passion but I miss my quilt and the store bought ones just are not holding like my old girl did. I had no idea there were so many beautiful quilt patterns out there. Im slowly becoming obsessed, Im already planning my next 6 quilting project. I just bought graph paper and colored pencils so I could draw out ideas.....is it possible to own too many quilts???

Welcome from Tennessee, you are going to really enjoy this
board.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!

Welcome from New York state! If you're becoming obsessed, you've come to the right place!

Welcome from Munford, TN! :-D

Welcome!

Glad to see you here! Welcome from north Alabama!

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

Nope! You can never own too many, make too many, or plan too many :wink:

Welcome from Germany! I'm sure you can never own too many quilts...

Welcome aboard! I read your comment on the other thread about backing over your sewing machine. I think you can call yourself a quilter already. I got a good laugh out of that.

As far as not knowing where to start- have you discovered quilting blogs yet? One of the best IMO is crazy mom quilts. http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/
She has some very clearly written tutorials. Also, Moda Bake Shop has a lot of tutorials for their precut fabrics.

I design my quilts like you are- with graph paper and colored pencils. My kids know NOT to touch mom's colored pencils! LOL!

I think you already have enough sewing skills to do this! If you just jump in and post topics on here when you get stuck I am very confident that you will get awesome answers and encouragement.

Also, you can check quilting books out from the library! Happy day when I figured that out!
