[QUOTE=KittyKate;6562191]Hi, I started quilting back in 1994. This was under the guidance of an English lady who had me cut templates then cut my blocks from these with scissors. Two blocks a week pieced by hand for a sampler quilt.
That's how I learned to quilt, but rotary cutters hadn't been invented yet!! I still love to hand piece. I have that first quilt, which I hand quilted and it took me MUCH longer than 9 months. I can't believe how horrible my color choices were. I love to look at it and see how far I've come.
