A free one would be fun - but can you really justify paying $30 just to get started, and then $25 a month for 12 months for simple problems. And then there is a finishing month which actually runs more than that! There are several that just cannot pick out their own colors - be brave - take a friend shopping and let her make suggestions. Do you really want to make the exact same quilt as someone else? nawwww I don't think so. Then of course, there is the batting and backing and quilting of your masterpiece? ---too rich for MY blood - but hey, different strokes for different folks.
