put together all of my fabrics from decorating my house into a chevron style quilt. had no idea about rotary cutters, mats, 1/4" seams, binding, etc. but it turned out pretty good in spite of my lack of knowledge and I still have and use it. and I got hooked on qulting. I bought books/magazines and searched on-line for info about how to make quilts correctly. then I found this board and all of the really good quilters and so now you are all teaching me. Thanks!
