Hello from Canada
Hi all, my name is Sandy. Love to sew but have never made a quilt yet. Found this board while searching for some info on how to start a quilt. I have always loved hand made quilts. I don't really know where to start to make one. I just know the colors I want it to be. It being my first, I'm thinking just blocks.
Guess I'll be reading this board for awhile to get caught up. Bye for now |

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. If you can use youtube, the videos done by Jenny Doan for the Missouri Star Quilt co. are a good source of information. Maybe start small with a table runner to get the basics.

Hi! Another Canadian here--from Ontario via Saskatchewan. Lots of good info and tremendously supportive people here. You are going to enjoy it!

Wow, thanks for all the welcomes. I feel at home already. I think the hardest thing for me is going to be figuring out how much fabric of each color I will need and how many different designs I will need of each color.
I started out by trying to find a quilt in the colors I wanted and couldn't find any. Another problem, the bed that I need it for is an odd size......48". |

WELCOME FROM MANITOBA/CANADA which province are you? My only regret in quilting is not haven't taken more classes in the beginning 15yrs ago. I love shopping test run new rulers, fabric just talk to me when I'm in fabric store. Always, in search for that ideal job that pays good, and don't ever have to be at work..

Welcome from southeastern PA. Definitely check out Missouri Star Quilt and Jenny Doan. She makes things look easy and they are. Just keep in mind she uses a lot of precuts, you don't have to do that. Buy the yardage and cut to the size required. There are a lot of very easy quilts to start off with so do not hesitate to ask anyone here for help.
