Thanks for your thoughts. I am a new quilter, a little over 2 months. So I am taking classes to learn as much as possible. I love the atmosphere in my LQS so I think thats why I like to take so many classes there. I have completed 2 quilts that I picked out the fabrics for and just learned how to do the pattern from a teacher and pattern. I have completely finished 3 kid sized quilts, 2 of which where blocks that I got off the internet and then put together with sashing and boarders etc.
I was more shocked at the TOTAL price the BOM quilt turned out to be.
