Wow, very nice cushions. Maybe one day I will be able to make something like that. I have some pool furniture that needs new cushions.
Right now I am feeling a little discouraged. It all seems a little over whelming.

Not to worry...... and don't get discouraged. I've been sewing over 50 years and quilting for at least 30. It takes time to branch out. You should feel GREAT that you are doing any sewing or quilting. There are tons of people out there that don't have the courage to even begin. And you have found a fantastic group of people that are willing to help anytime you ask. I still ask questions from time to time..... you can never learn too much.

I bought a Accuquilt Go for cutting my squares, triagles, strips etc. I know how to sew them together but it is knowing what the right fabric, thread, needle, batting etc. to use that is confusing me.

I really like her and she's easy to understand. Missiouri quilts also have some tutorials on their site. I watch all that I can find in case one technique doesn't work I can chose a different one. Let me know how you like the site.
