Hi, there. I just purchased some beautiful material to make a quilt. It came in blocks, Ive never quilted, but want to learn. What should I do???

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

You could sandwich and quilt the panel as is, cut out the blocks and add sashing strips to them... it all depends on how you want your finished quilt to look :D:D:D

Welcome! I would start out like Amma said, nothing complicated, and just enjoy!

You have choosen a pretty fabric, now just pick out a couple more that you like, (shopping is the fun part) and look at pictires here and in books, you will quickly be inspired.

Have fun, relax and remember we are here 24/7 for help :wink:

Welcome to the board!!! You are correct, that is beautiful fabric!!!

Welcome to the board, your fabric is beautiful, take a look around the board and you will get tons of ideas, I have only been quilting on a regular basis for about 5-7 years but in that time I have learned that there is no wrong idea.

Hi! Welcome to the board. You could look for the pattern called Attic Windows. That will put each picture in its own frame and will look beautiful.

That is just beautiful. If you don't want a big quilt you could just add a border or two and have yourself a beautiful quilt.

Thanks for all the great replys. I will keep looking at this website for help.

I think I want to cut out the pannels and add the sashing stips to draw attention to each picture, kind of like the window suggestion. So now I have to figure out what other material I need and how to cut the pannels. I have never done this before and I don't want to ruin the material.
How and what do you use to cut the panels? I need the quilt to fit a large king size bed and I don't want to make it too heavy. I think I bit off more than I can chew:(
