I was planning on making quilts for my ds and dd girlfriend/boyfriend for Christmas. I am a complete beginner to sewing so I was going to make something very simple. Sadly, my ds 18 year old girlfriend passed away last week from a blood clot in her brain. So, my questions are, would you still make it and give it to her parents? Second, I love this Loveland log cabin http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-27504-1.htm#572555 and wonder if that is too advance for me. Would that quilt design be appropriate? Third, if you'd make a quilt anyway, what pattern would you choose knowing I'm a beginner? Thank you so much!
