Howdy, howdy & welcome to this board from Texas! I 'amen' all that's been said about this board. You'll soon find you can ask questions, view pics/etc, post pics, etc. It's wonderful. Sooo helpful. I'd recommend your first project be a "rag quilt" (any size square but say 6.5" or larger would take fewer blocks & be sure to use 1/2" seams..
Good luck. I won't take long to find yourself with not 1 stash but many.....
