Welcome from Maine. While reading your post,I picked up on the wording that your having fun with just shopping for the fabrics, that tells me you'll be quilting up a storm for a long time. LOL. As you can read on this forum, shopping for fabric is an addiction, ask me how I know,and notice that I haven't joined the fabric moratorium challenge.
This is a great group of people here and we're all willing to help with questions and suggestions. Enjoy the adventure, both your precious children and quilting.
