Hello from Canada
Hi all, my name is Sandy. Love to sew but have never made a quilt yet. Found this board while searching for some info on how to start a quilt. I have always loved hand made quilts. I don't really know where to start to make one. I just know the colors I want it to be. It being my first, I'm thinking just blocks.
Guess I'll be reading this board for awhile to get caught up. Bye for now

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. If you can use youtube, the videos done by Jenny Doan for the Missouri Star Quilt co. are a good source of information. Maybe start small with a table runner to get the basics.

Welcome from NJ. If you know the colors you want, you are halfway there! Look around online or stop into a local quilt shop to look at some samples for patterns. Do you want to hand or machine piece? Hand or machine quilt? Lots of help here for you whenever you are ready.

Welcome!
There's so much information here to help you. If you'd prefer a more hands on type of help - check out the local library or used book store - you'll be sure to find a learn to quilt book there.
