The 1st one I started with was a rag quilt because it is finished when you are done sewing it together. You can purchase some very nice flannel for both sides. Just do some planning. Like do you have rotary cutter? Do you have a square ruler? Set your machine up for sewing large things. machine on a table with another table to your left in an L shape. It will help when you have to push a big quilt thru a little machine.
