Welcome Daisy
You will enjoy quilting ..it has been a life saver for me.. keeps me going and learning.. go to Moda Bakeshop... yes it is for quilting... here is the web site..
http://www.modabakeshop.com/
go to the recipes sections and look at the patterns for charm squares.. they name their cut fabrics after food items that is why they call it a bakeshop...like jellyrolls are 2.5 inch wide strips, they have turnovers (triangles) they have
layer cakes etc.... you get the idea... makes you hungry just looking at the patterns..LOL!!
This is a good place for you to start with ideas on how to use the charm squares.
Welcome!!
