Good morning (well it is over here) What time is it there? Welcome to the site. I just joined yesterday. I also spent years with cross stitch, I just loved it, but once I started quilting I have never looked back. I had done a Log Cabin Quilt years ago that was a quilt as you go method, it was an easy pattern to follow. That quilt is so old and faded now I wouldn't put it on the post but I can check to see if I still have the pattern for you if you want? Hope you enjoy this site!
