Hello everyone.....I just stumbled across your site and found you all to be having fun. I have been quilting for many years and enjoy all phases of quilting. Right now I am working on a hand-pieced quilt. The pattern is by Cindy Blackberg, called Mariner's Compass. Fifteen blocks - each 18"x18" - pointy points everywhere. Oh my...what was I thinking! It will be mostly green/brown/cheddar in civil war fabrics. Looking forward to chatting and making new friends.
