Steve welcome to our crazy family. It's nice to have another guy in here to give Tim a break. I'm new to quilting myself but once the quilt bug bit it bit really hard. I work full time so I don't get to spend as much time on my quilts as I would like. So far I have made 3 baby quilts, two queen size, 3 rag quilts and am working on my 3rd queen size. Like you I have lots of quilts in my head that I'm wanting to get started on. I'm 41 years old, married to a great guy and have two stepsons. I live in central Missouri. Again welcome to our family and please post pics. We all love to see the talent of others.
