My name is athensbabe and I live in Wisconsin. I am just learing how to make small quilts. But have you ever tried paper piecing? and have you ever tried
charm squares? They are pre cut material and that gives you a nice wall quilt.
Go to www.overrainbow.com. She has quite a variety and also has a pattern that uses charm squares.
Hope this helps you too.
