All great advice. When I first started, I quilted EVERYTHING I could get my hands on. I even quilted over the tops of old store bought comforters and mattress pads that didn't fit the beds anymore. All of my kids got quilts that Christmas, as well as nieces and nephews. I quilted window coverings for my daughter's drafty room, beds for the cats, baby size cheater panels I found on clearance. Just keep going and try new things. I kept a sketch diary of things I wanted to try, ideas, etc.
