Glad to have you join us here, whether you take the plunge and start quilting for yourself or just to hand out and talk, or maybe you might get lucky and find someone to take on whatever project you would like done. You can also search on "commissioned quilts" and find a couple of sites. A lot of us piecers also look for long arm quilters to finish our projects for us, so "commissioned quilting" brings up a different set of results.

I'm really big on that quilting starts with just putting two pieces of fabric together. We might get better at that, or fancier than that, but basically, it's just putting little bits together and most of us can do that to some extent.

Welcome from Central Florida. I love this board and I have learned so much about quilting from the other members. I hope you get answers to your questions also.

Hello, HalloweenCat, MEOW! from another cat.
You most likely saw the Halloween quilt in the QB Pictures section. Have you searched there? If you find it, you can send a personal message to the thread starter asking what pattern was used.

Run! Save yourself now!

Just Kidding.

The joy of your own handmade quilt will overcome any obstacles or reservations you have. If there is one thing I've learned, it's that no one will notice imperfections(except you!)

Start sewing squares together and enjoy!
