Thanks everyone!
I followed a link someone posted in another thread--can't remember the lady's name, but she was very happy about her squares. But I learned a lot just from that and think it will help once I start cutting. And quilting.about.com is a nice place too.
I did cut a few squares from some old curtains I had and sewed them together into a little practice quilt top--not perfect, but not bad either.
The tracking info for my fabric says it should be here tomorrow--I can't wait! I know I'm probably being overly ambitious, but I planning on starting with a queen size :shock:
Thanks for the welcome; I'm sure I'll have a lot of questions!
