trying to attch. a pic.
#1
I have been trying to attach. a pic. of a pre-cut quilt I purchased on-line. I don't think I will be able to put it together, I have never made a quilt, but really want to get started. By the way I bought this 3 years ago. It is a star kind of design lots of points. I will keep trying to get a pic. of it up. I know it is hard to give an opinion without a pic. but it has lots of points, so perhaps that would be enough to advise me.
Thank-you

Hi! look at the pattern, if it is/has "set in points", i would not touch it, without some guidance from someone near you that pieces/quilts.
IF it had you doing HST's(half square triangles) in the corners, you should be able to do it just fine. this is just my humble opinion.
i will try to show you in a picture of what i mean..

Just my opinion, but this is an advanced begiiner/intermediate pattern. Unless you have experience with sewing set in triangles in other areas of sewing.
It also has bias edged pieces, that can be a bit tricky for a new sewer.
Maybe set this one aside and try a quilt or two that is geared for a beginner? Baby quilts are a nice way to get ones feet wet, or a wall hanging :D:D:D

I would try doing just a simple quilt with just squares before you tackle this one that way you get used to the 1/4" seam allowance and all that and sewing in a straight line. then hit this pattern. good luck with it. let us know how it goes. and if there are any questions this is the place to go for them. I have gotten a ton of help with mine.
