I want to complete the whole quilt process myself (with lap size quilts). My experience thus far has been sewing precut squares into basic tops for project Linus from made up kits the group puts together. They meet twice a month. They have ladies sandwich and quilt them (a couple have Long Arms) and others will do the binding. I did help my youngest daughter put together a quilt for the fair with guidance from the group. I also want to try FMQ.
