Hi! My name is Buffy and I joined this list so that I could learn from others how to make quilts. I have always wanted to make quilts, but accidently entered a contest at church so now I really need to get busy.
Fortunately the quilt can be small, even a hand bag or apron. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start?
Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome to the board and to quilting.
Warning - you will become addicted! ;)
To start you will need the right tools. Rotary cutter, cutting mat, template/ruler.
Fabric and a Sewing machine & accessories.
A simple 9 patch pattern would be easy, or just a strip quilt. You can go up on the topics and under "Search" look for 9 patch, 4 patch or other quilt block names and get links, pics, and pattern ideas.
And I know there will be lots of help here for you.
Good luck. and most importantly Have Fun.
