Welcome, Carrie. You will learn so much doing this quilt with this group. When we did Farmers Wife Sampler quilt last year I was an average quilter. I learned so much and really grew better and better at quilting. These cowgirls are all great quilters and are more than willing to share any hints or techniques. They really inspired me and kept me going over the toughest blocks. We are all here for you and your friend and look forward to seeing your pics.
