David since you are new to this site, check out the heading of pictures on the top or bottom of the pages and look at some of the quilts made by folks on this board. Eddie of Arkansas does quilting, so does Billy-Lostn51, and I can't think of his board title at the moment but his name is also Bill -Lockeb, and is from Canada. Just put any of these names in the search and look for their work. They have all made just beautiful quilts. Can't wait to see something of yours. I know there are other men on this board as well, just can't recall at this time.
I don't think anyone has mentioned that many of us prewash our fabrics in case the dye runs, so it won't damage other fabrics we are using. Don't use fabric softener though, Just a hint to help you along. Go on line and look up 10 minute blocks and see how you like that pattern it is quick and easy to do. A little bit of advice - Quilting Can be addictive, and remember don't be afraid to ask ANY question everyone here is so helpful and there is No Dumb question ever. Again Welcome. Gerbie
