Help!!! I need quilt questions
#1
I do need help! I am in the process of writing an e-book (or book), sort of like a quilt encyclopedia and I need your input. I would like for you to ask me some questions that you have about quilting or fabric, or construction, about quilting styles and so on. I will try to answer your questions, and if I don't know, someone can help me out from the board. If we don't know the answer, I WILL find it for you. I'd like to hear from everyone that would like to help-beginner, a more seasoned quilter, someone thinking about quilting.
And here's the fun part: I may include your question in my book. If you want, I can use a first name and last initial or your boardname or no name.
Kind of like a "Dear Abby" for quilters.
Just so you know, I don't pretend to know it all! But, I know how to find things!!!!!
Thank you so much, Judy

I actually just posted this in the Main Message Board. How do you decide what information to include on a quilt label? Newbies like me sometimes don't realize that you should include a label on every quilt you make.

What kind of patterns are the best for beginners to learn with? The Lonestar is very pretty - is that a good newbie pattern?
Why is the seam allowance only 1/4" for quilts but 5/8" for garments? And why are the seams pressed to one side as opposed to opened like they are for garments?
How big do I make a quilt for a Twin, Queen or King size bed?

Yes, I have a question. Exactly where are all my seam rippers hiding? I promise I have at least 5 and I'm lucky to be able to find one when I need it. There's a seam ripper party going on somewhere in my studio that I was not invited to. :-)
