Hello everyone! I've made several blankets and other simple sewing projects (Christmas stockings, aprons, things like that), but I am new to quilting. I've made just one quilt, a simple one from a kit.

Right now I am cutting up my girls' baby clothes (*sniff, sniff* :( ) to make quilts for them, and I am also planning on making "I Spy" quilts for the grandmas as Christmas gifts.

I have a few questions, but I'll poke around a bit and see if I can find the answers. I look forward to talking to and learning from you all!

Hi Gracie, welcome aboard! Sounds like you have some good plans thought out! You will enjoy this site and learn alot from it. There is always someone who has either done what your about to do or has advice if you ask for it. Hope you have fun!

Welcome Gracie! You may want to look at Elizabeth A's quilt that she made from her daughter's clothes. As long as you use interfacing, you should be fine. We'll be looking for pictures!
