If #2 has the same aspirations as #1 to make 10 quilts in 6 months, then I think they both need a reality check. If both #1 and #2 want to learn how to quilt, look carefully at the advice that's already been offered and start watching some of the great instructional videos on YouTube.
Like a lot of things that a person does ....................it's all about the journey..............not the destination.
