Just my opinion, Katrine, but starting right out on a queen size quilt could be frustrating for you. I first started with placemats and have worked my way through table runners. I have done a baby quilt and a lap quilt. I sent out a king size and queen size and several twin size quilts to my gal who does them on her longarm quilter. I'm happy with just making the tops. Good luck, though. you may find machine quilting a breeze and go like gang busters.
