Hello, everyone, I'm new here and new to quilting.
I am about to embark upon my first real quilt.
I did make a "blue jean" quilt once, but the one
I am attempting to do now is very much more detailed.
I am looking for any advice, information that I can find.
I am reading multiple articles on and off the net.
Have bought several first time quilting books.

Here is a link to the quilt I am going to do.
Scroll down, it's about half way down the page.
I love it. It looks like a sampler and has houses in it.
I am crazy about "houses".
It is a strip a month club, so it will take me at least
a year to get the top done.
It looks difficult, but with it being a slow project, I will have
plenty of time to work on each strip individually, hoping to
get it right.
What do you all think?

That is a cool site. The quilt you are attempting looks hard, but fun. Thanks for sharing. I live in Corpus Christi TX. I teach music 2 days a week so I don't get to quilt often, but I love thinking about it and looking and reading this site. Enjoy.

Thanks to you guys for replying!
This is a cool message board.
I feel like this will be a good place to get
questions answered.
I'm going to start on the quilt tomorrow.

I'll try!!
That will be a good excuse for me to try to figure out that new digital camera I bought.

But I've seen some quilts that some of these people on this site make....I don't think I will be able to hold a candle to theirs.

That would be great!
I emailed the lady who designed the quilt and asked for her permission to enter the quilt in the county fair in the fall of 2008, when I get it finished!
She gave me her permission!!

That looks like a really nice quilt. Welcome to the board...when we get serious we can have a nice time. When we are silly, it's even better. I'm sure you'll like the info you find here.
