There have been requests/questions from some of our new quilters on what blocks are easy, which ones should they start out making, and other similar questions.

One of our members put together a set of tutorials just for new quilters. She has put it together into several sections, and they tie in together very nicely.

Shelly shows how the blocks are made, short cuts, how they can be put together, along with some other very helpful ideas and tips, too.

Check them out, along with the other tutorials here on the board. There is a wealth of information there :D:D:D

What a great thread!!! YAHOO! Thank you for doing this!!

Thanks for the links to the tutorials. Doesn't hurt to refresh our minds once in a while. Lots of good info there.

That is a great idea. Thanks to her for doing this.

Wow! what an awesome thing to do. Much thanks to Shelly for her time and effort in putting this together for all of us newbies.

Thank you very very much from THIS Newbie Quilter!

You are welcome :D I am happy to let new members know about these tutes and the others wonderful ones we have here on our board :D:D:D

This is really gonna help me with my granddaughter when she starts learning quilting.
She has been exposed to it, of course, but soon she will be ready to get on the sewing machine by herself and these pictures, etc. are going to be an awesome helper for me.
Thank you Shelley! :D
Thank you amma for letting it be known the tute is there! :D

We were just talking about these classes in chat tonight... they are excellent for beginners and maybe new things in them too for more experienced quilters :D:D:D

amma,
Thanks for sending me the links. I will read the tutorials tonight when the house is quiet and everyone else is asleep.
