I too am a mewby, but have seen sewing for 50+ years and have always been really good at looking at things and figuring out how to do it and have read so many books and magazines I feel good about working on my first quilt. My biggest problem has been room (small house and raise dogs) and time. Just sold last of litter of Golden pups, only have one girl still here, she is staying, and too many RT's but space is the big problem, but I keep working on it.
