Welcome! I am a newbie too and this board is terrific - the people are great, very helpful and friendly! You should post a pic of your project. A great idea I got from someone on this board was to keep a quilt journal - like a scrapbook of your finished products with a pic,a sample of each fabric. I was glad to get that tip right in the beginning so I would have it from the start.
So again, welcome and looking forward getting to know you!
