Hubby and I visited Edinburgh about 10 years ago on business and an extended holiday after. We loved your beautiful city. If you really want to jump into quilting on your own, you might want to check out the Electric Quilt software program. You can design your own quilt with just a few clicks, even scan in your own fabric in order to see what it would look like in your design. I have been using it for years, and it makes doing a quilt so much more fun.
