Well, I'm a nurse, and at one time I really got into making scrub tops. I ended up with a lotta scraps, so decided to make quilts. Just cut squares, then half square triangles. no patterns or anything. then, i found this site and you-tube, and am still teaching myself different patterns. I've only done french braid, dresden plate, and D9P quilts. Have done boston block, but only 1 block, not a whole quilt!
