Hi there, I am a newbie too. Thought I was working fast, now finished 1 wall hanging, 1 quilt (all but) and another just waiting to be sewn together, but had to stop as there is a new babe on the way. That has taken 8 months so take my hat off to you. Mainly I do applique, but next time am going to have a try at something a bit more difficult. Elle in Spain
