WELCOME JUNEBEA - you'll love this msg. board - filled w/helpful sharing quilters.

Where to start might depend on the size of your frame - if it is a hand-held round/square type, think I would start in the middle & work out.

If it is a larger 3 rail roller like I use, (pic attached) I start at the bottom, go from rt. side to left, then roll it up to the next section to be done. The one in the pic is almost finished & that is the "pillow" top section of the quilt.

Good luck & be sure & post pics of your work. We all love to see the beautiful work of each other.

Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love.
