go to the Quilting Marine Y-tube channe lhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRhD6VH0FmU. He makes scrappy quilts and it's very freeing. I know people with OCD have trouble with that kind of quilting have trouble with it. I love it.

Always keep this first quilt as it will bring good memories and always take a picture of every quilt you make. These are two of the mistakes I made when I started quilting.
Also welcome to the QB! You will find a lot of tricks of the trade here. I am so glad you jumped right in and look forward to seeing a lot of you here on the QB! |

Old Dog-- you will be quilting like a pro before you know it! There are quite a few gentlemen quilters around. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have. (Warning: it is an expensive hobby!)

The seam allowance argument "open or to one side" took me 30 seconds to decide which side I was on. I am growing gray hair over batting LOL. Scores so far... Fairfield 80/20 +1 HOBBS 80/20 +1 Pellon 80/20 +3 Quilter's Dream 80/20 +2 Warm And Natural 80/20 +2 aaaah! I could make it easy on myself and buy a roll of Dacron, be done with it (Nah). And to think, I thought I had a lot of options when picking a forum to follow. Thank you for looking, your welcome, and your support. I look forward to learning everything you are willing to share. |

So start with smaller projects.. A bad table runner is easier to throw away than a bad quilt. I was cautiously making a control line air plane once. making sure every piece was perfect. A more experienced pilot wrote in my box. "How long to you think it will last anyway?" It was very liberating.

There are a lot of beginner quilts on U-tube
