I have no idea what I'm doing, & I'm really hoping for
alot a help. I've been wanting to make a quilt to years, but
never had the courage, till I saw this site, and maybe I can
do it. I am 60 yrs. old, live alone in an apt. have 3 grown
kids, and 7 grandkids. oldest is 12 down to 4 months.
I'm very nervous right now. My name is Chris And thank
