Hello and welcome from TN..I'm with ya, I have been quilting or should I say piecing quilt tops off and on for years, the past 2 yrs. the quilting bug really hit me and I have been piecing steadily but have yet to really quilt one, did quilt a table runner once and a purse once but have decided that 2011 will be my year to quilt and I too live in a small town.
