It is so wonderful seeing new quilters joining our group and getting their feet wet in this wonderful craft. Please do not feel intimindated by what more experienced quilters do....we were once where you are and nobody kicked us out so we do a bit better now. To be very honest, I would not be able to pick out a "newbie" quilt. Sometimes our lives really do get to hetic for a short time and we need a bit of time off, but please, please come back! If you do need time off, you could work on a doll quilt at your own pace with no committment and then when you are able to return, you would have a finished project in hand if and when crunch time hits.
