Welcome to the forum!
Welcome! I, too am from AL, the Dothan area, and started quilting about 3 years ago...I sew better than I quilt! I just couldn't understand why any sane person would cut up a perfectly good piece of fabric, just to sew it back together again!
But I am hooked. A neigbor's husband got me started, I love the design process, but don't follow complicated patterns very well. I prefer larger pieces, I sort of do my own thing, and I give most of them away. My first quilts were 3 identical "princess" bed-size quilts for grand daughters, embroidered squares and sashings. I have evolved a bit, but still do basics better than things like drunkard's path. I just get bored trying to get the hang of it and would rather just whip out something I am more comfortable with. Join a guild if you can find one, (ask at fabric stores/quilt shops) and you will learn a wealth of information there. I love my guild meetings! I have recruited a few newbies as well.
Have fun, Linda
