i just wanted to introduce myself. I am the daughter of a wonderful quilter who has never quilted!! Until now.... I think... My parents 40th wedding anniversary is coming up and I wanted to make them a wall hanging quilt as a gift. (This from the daughter that doesn't sew - my sister is very accomplished as well!) So I will probably have many questions as I start this journey. I will have about 5 months to do it!

Wish me luck!

Hafa Adai from Guam!
Just ask any and all questions.
Someone here will have an answer!

Welcome and good luck on the wall hanging.

I made my in-laws a signature quilt (sent blocks to people to have them write their sentiments on). I embroidered every single one of them by hand. It was really emotional because by the time the party happened, 3 of the people, including my mil best friend, had passed away.

My advice is to make sure you have plenty of time! :lol:
Keep us posted,
