My first quilt was a king sized Turning Twenty and it was 2 years ago. I had gone to a Janome workshop to learn how to quilt. The Janome consultant there was sarcastic and used me as an example for what a beginner should NOT do. By danged, I'd have finished that quilt or choked on it. Actually, it was quite easy and I loved it. It's on my bed right now. Pfffttt! Take that Consultant Lady! :-)
