Funny that you would post this. My young next door neighbor asked me to share how to make a quilt and sew clothing today. I gave her a reader's digest sewing book thick as a phone book and a Elenore burns Quilt in a day log cabin book that was my original book I learned from. You know the kind you tear the strips and strip sew the pieces? Well I figure if she presses as she goes, it will be a good start for her. It was for me!
