Welcome from Minnesota!

My suggestion is to start small ... maybe a crib or lap quilt, or even a wall hanging or placemats. And if possible take a class at a local quilt shop (LQS). Good luck!!

Hi and welcome from Alaska. I used to crochet like a mad woman too. But I returned to sewing which has always been my first love and I took up quilting when hubby said not to go back to work. Loving it. Still admire crochet too.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this forum and also looking to make some wonderful friends.
