Hi everyone, I am new here, and new to quilting. I have made two quilts so far, one lap quilt for my youngest daughter and a large quilt for a volunteer fire department auction. I am still so excited about quilting and cant wait to get really good.....right now, no matter how hard i try, cant get all seams to line up right, but i have to say, that they are not off by much, dont know if i am cutting wrong or sewing wrong, but i will keep working at it.....fabric is addicting, i probably have enough to make 20 quilts already....and i always buy extra for any cutting mistakes i make, i live 45 miles from the nearest fabric store, so i am always afraid if i dont get extra, they wont have it when i go back..

anyway, cant wait to talk to you all......

welcome from Florida, Daph...and i'll tell you what is helping my blocks, become more accurate. Picked up this tip from somebody here on board, a while back, and if I could remember who it was, would give them a hug...sew and measure...sew and measure...eventually, I guess, I won't have to measure, quite so much, but right now, even with the 1/4" foot, it helps, lol, immeasurably :wink:
