I'm pretty much self-taught, and when I see a quilt block I love, I drop everything and struggle for days trying to figure out the best way to make it, and I end up with lots of bits and pieces of quilts, but nothing complete! So, I lurk around and stay quietly in the background of this forum...

But, no more! Today, I will confess to my lurk-y-ness and step into the light. Hello quilter world! :)))
