I followed the step by step lesson and finished my first quilt top yesterday. The problem is.....the lessons only make 36.5 x 48.5 quilts. :?:
I can figure out how to enlarge the top to make it a usable quilt for a queen size bed, but I'm nervous about going out on my own for binding.
Do you guys suggest I keep following the pattern and make the quilt the suggested size so I get the hang of binding or can I attempt to adapt it without making a mess of things?
donb't know enough to give you advice,but thought i'd say hi from n.w. indiana.i am about as far n.w. as you can get.
where are you ?
