I started making "quilts" in earnest about 11 years ago. My mother always gave each new family member a quilt and after she passed away someone had to pickup where she left off. The first ones I made were the simplest form of a "quilt" (two fabrics, usually flannel, with batt in the middle and tied with yarn). When I retired a few years ago I took up making more pieced tops and using my machine to do some very simple quilting. I now have more than one machine and two quilting frames (one for machine quilting, one for hand quilting, still need to learn this art). I will never accomplish what some members here are able to do but that is okay because I enjoy what I do. I am more than willing to share what experience I have. As for the "right" way to do things, well I wouldn't go that far, but I will help you with how I do it :lol: :oops:
