Default New to quilting

Hi...

My name is Tracey. I live in Indiana, and by the way.....it is freezing outside. Good time to wrap up in a quilt.

I got a new sewing machine from my daughter for Christmas. I want to make each one of my children and grandchildren a quilt to remember me by when it is my time to move on. I know it is going to take some time. Because I need to find the right pattern that I can do, as I am a beginner. And one that suits them. I want to make them big enough for their beds.

My daughter wants a zebra print with a red boarder. I found a pattern that I like, but it calls for 8 different colors. So I might have to do less colors and see how it works. On scrap material, of course. I thought about stitching red through out the quilt to hold the material together instead of tacking it. My machines dog feet don't drop so I can't do the curvy kind. Unless I just haven"t found out how they drop.

I am glad that I have found this forum.
