Oh my yes! I'm definately a beginner! I've made 2 bed quilts, 2 lap quilts and 1 wall hanging. My first quilt I paid to have it quilted. Can't afford that very often so I've tried to do FMQ on my DSM. I must say the results are quite hilarious! I am very bad at that part! I do see some improvement though. It will be quite some time before I can say I do a fair job. LOL Welcome to the board. So many good knowledgeable people here and they are always willling to share with others. Quilters are just the best!
