I agree with the rulers, especially sizes by tallchick, rotary cutter and mat. I would also recommend Deb Tucker rulers, Tucker Trimmer I and II. She has great videos on YouTube. As time goes along, try rulers by Blocloc and Creative Grid. Watch for sales on good quality fabric like Moda, Andover, Henry Glass, Wilmington, etc. I like to buy at local quilt stores or online at Old CountryStore and Hancock’s of Paducah. Use good batting. I love Quilter’s Dream in Select cotton or their wool for special quilts. I think you should start with lap quilts. Almost all of the fabric companies have free patterns online. Sharon Schamber has a great YouTube video on quilt basting the quilt top, batting, and backing together. The Quilting Board is a great resource for information and help too. Good luck!! Fun, satisfying hobby!
