my first quilting class i took several years ago was a sampler quilt class...it was enjoyable and made me realize i wanted more quilting. the bad part with that quilt was that i had made it as a tribute to my best friend of 40 yrs. who had died suddenly. i finally lost my way with the whole thing and just had to put it away. got back to quilting last fall and am hooked. i appreciate all the help and suggestions. thanks. mona
