I just finished my very first quilt. A queen size for my bed. Its not perfect, I see the mistakes however no one else does. It took about a week to put it together. I had all of these bags of fabric scraps I have bought from re-sale shops for Christmas crafts and decided to do something with them. It is just a basic old style block quilt with black binding. Its pretty. A large quilt is a big project, however if I managed it, anybody can. I am now anxious to start a new one. I am truly hooked. I am thinking of doing a Chinese coin, it looks fairly easy for a beginner.
