Yes, I have been reading over a lot of the tutorials and the one on the "scant 1/4 seam," was at this point the most beneficial as that would explain why even some of my little projects dont't quite match up no matter how hard I try! Now I know! Thanks:)

I like this. This is exactly what I did to learn to quilt first. I took out every book the library had and read them. Then I signed up for a quilt class at the local quilt store. Learned so much from that class. But I had to learn to cut on my own and also to sew that darn scant 1/4 seam. Took forever to learn that. Welcome to the board from Illinois. and Good Luck.
