New to quilting
Hi,
I am Amy and I live in TN. I have never sewn much. It's not that I don't know how; it's that I just don't seem to get it right. My daughter is expecting our first grandchild in July so I would like to make her something. I tend to see beautiful projects in my mind but getting them out of my hands is a whole different story!! I need all the pointers and tips you guys can give.
Thanks!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. My quilts aways look better in my head than I can produce. It's okay because it is the creative process I enjoy. My advice is measure and cut accurately with your rotary cutter and ruler. Sew accurately with your 1/4inch seams and measure your units and to make sure they are correct before assembling your top. A good resource is the tutorials done by Jenny Doan from the Missouri Star Quilt Co.
