ok, now you've got me going. i will admit that i brought a similar pattern at least 2 yrs ago at a show. got caught up in a buying frenzy even though i was a beginner piecer and have never hand quilted before. still in the bag all this time....
PLEASE tell me, besides "just do it", what are the important basic basics to get started? would you mind sending me a pm? thanks!
