Well, I've never tried to quilt in my life. I can barely sew. I'm famous for using superglue on hems! But my best friend is a quilter and she has agreed to help me through it and hold my hand all the way. I would love to give it a try. I was going to to start with a little baby size quilt, but my friend insists since I have no use for a baby quilt, I might as well start on a big one I can use on my bed. So that's the plan. As soon as I decide on my pattern and fabrics, I'll send a picture.
In the mean time, this page has been very helpful. I have been able to get good explanations of things I did not understand.
I am 59 years old, female, live in Kansas City, Mo. I work full time, so this project will probably take most of the rest of my life. As a side note, I am a wild bird rehabber. I have a federal license that allows me to take care of abandoned baby birds or injured birds until they are ready to release into the wild. So the only piece of fabric I bought so far has a bird on it.
Thanks everyone. I'm glad to make your acquaintance.
