Welcome aboard!! This is a great site.... check out the topic where someone asks about everyones' "avatar". Lots of quilts to see and hear about why they were made and how. Great for catching ideas........ then look up the patterns. They will tell you how much fabric you'll need. Have fun!!!

Welcome, I love this site, I am not here often but great advise is given along with a lot of encouragement.
|
I recommend a beginner's class at a fabric sop, Joann's or even an Adult Ed. Class. I tried books and pattern for years without much luck. There are some basic concepts that maKe or break a quilt going together nicely. Books assume you already know them.

welcome from Oklahoma. be sure to start with some pattern that is easy enough. If you choose something too complicated you might get discouraged. good luck.

I am now making my 4th one, and have put two different materials together for an irish chain, and one solid dark red color is heavier than the cream main color, and I am afraid I might not have a prize quilt once again. I think it takes awhile to be confident. But this quilting site has helped me alot.

I am also fairly new to quilting and I bought a good book and took one class at a local fabric shop. Practice, practice, practice.
