Hi, new to quilting and to patchwork. I've recently retired and have at last (in theory!) some time to myself! I recently visited the Victoria & Albert Museum in London for Three Hundred Years of Quilting - wow, what an exhibition, so inspiring - and daunting! Now I need some serious help as I really am pretty hopeless!! All I have done so far is Drunkards Path cushions in the form of birds but I'm desperate to have a go at everything - log cabin, bargello, trapunto etc etc!
I have bought a couple of panels that look terrific - one in four sections - one for each season, and one of various different types of coffee. Trouble is, I'm now not sure what to do with them! Cut them up, quilt them and put borders etc? or what? Thought I could use them for Christmas presents - but I really need ideas and help!!
Thanks in anticipation,
Penny from Yorkshire
