Welcome from North Carolina. I'm so glad you're getting off the floor. LOL. Sounds like you're on the way to quilting!
Well, I'm at best short (5'2"), so sitting on the floor isn't quite that bad. Most proper desks and tables are too tall. But I've got my eye on a table at the thrift store, it's a solid piece, it's just really beat up. My computer chair should fit just fine with it, so it's going to get a ride home tomorrow, and it's going in the corner.

Welcome from Arizona. You're going to love it here! Your plans with your nephew sound like great fun, and I know what you mean about starting out with large blocks; it'll be done quickly and your nephew will be able to start using it sooner.:thumbup:
Yeah, I was thinking if 6" blocks were too boring and tedious to ME, it's going to be worse for a rowdy 8 year old boy. 12" will get it done twice as fast, it gives him more room for the fun prints he still likes to show, and I'll just stitch down the windows a bit more. Not a big deal in my world.

Fun or an adventure :) I've discovered brown, lime green and turquoise go together better than I thought they would at least.

Hi from So. California.
I really love your attitude about colors and quilting with kids. It sounds like you have an amazing relationship with your nephew. I have been known to make a "questionable fabric choice" or two and I don't have a rowdy 8 year old boy to help me.
