I started with one of Eleanor Burns "QIADay) in 4 hours, I was able to make a few squares.. went home, made the other squares, and finished the top the nest day at home... A wonderful learning experience... We learned to cut, pin, stitch, sew, and continue... Went to a wonderful quilt shop, and have been working ever since... (The first quilt shop was lousy, and went out of business quickly after that..) Diana
