I am just so addicted to quilting... so, I keep making something.... I need the practice.

I just wanted to share with everyone how it's going for me as a beginner... literally, just begun quilting January 10th 2011 and have learned all I know from this website and you tube!

Praise the Lord for all you dear folks and sharing like you do!

Wow, beautiful blocks, you are doing wonderful!

Those are beautiful blocks, you're doing a fantastic job.

Your points are very, very good for a beginner!

You are doing GREAT! And using stripes so well! That is very pretty...keep up the good work.....

Thank you all...

Hey girl! You are doing a fantastic job!!

GREAT JOB - - I've had experience and don't know that I can do as well at matching points. You obviously pay attention to detail. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your quilting.

love the colors in your avatar!

Very nice, I believe we truly have another quilter among us. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more.

Wow, your blocks are wonderful. I love the table runner. Great job and keep it up.

Looking great!!! You're doing a fantastic job!

You are doing a wonderful job. Great blocks.

Great blocks and super great job. You are doing a fantistic job. I have been quilting for a while also and mine aren't that good. What pattern is that, love it. Thanks.

regarding the "pattern"

well, I used the boston block idea & half square and made the look of a star.. I think I had seen that somewhere online called the "friendship star" so I call it the friendship star. I follow the pattern on my wall now for this one...

When I make a block that I really I like... I just hang it on my wall and use it for my pattern. I have the measurement chart for sizing etc... I guess this is maybe silly to some but it works for me so far. I like to be creative... when I get the whole quilting thing down a little better then I will start using patterns I guess.

I just look at a block I find online, print it out and study it and then try to make it... seems to work out pretty well. I use the calculator a lot lol. And, I use this calculator too> http://search.quiltshops.com/calculator/calculator.htm

You are doing wonderful for a "newbie". Looking forward to more pics from future projects :lol:

Gorgeous work.

love the topper!!

Your points are wonderful! Ihave trouble with that all the time GRRRR!

great job-you've got the bug!

From one newbie to another.... spectacular!

That looks great.

WOW and you just started! Great work!

Very pretty-great job!

wow!!!!!!!!that is great work!!!!

go to the head of the class!nice job pab

Very nice!

Wow, hard to believe you're a beginner. Your work is beautiful. I just love the blue square at the bottom.

Beautiful blocks. I love how you arranged the stripes. It looks like you have been quilting for years.

Nice green runner looks like a lot of work to get the strips matched up so well. I've only been quilting a little over a year, but stripes scare me. Plaids do too!

You are doing beautiful work. Wish I had known about this site 6 years ago when I started quilting. (Was this site up and running 6 years ago?)

Wow.... fantastic job, you are doing just wonderful with your blocks, I love how you were able to use those stripes and make them look fabulous together.

Looks like you are definitely on your way!!! Nice blocks!

Very nice.You are doing a great job.

THANK YOU everyone for all the wonderful compliments... WOW! this website is a great ego booster! lol.

For a beginner I sure need that boost... I am so hard on myself some times.

And, as for me being able to get the corners and lines etc to line up and all that "look good" stuff... I must admit that I am a bit of a perfectionist at some things, so badly, that I have been told I have OCD or been called "anal"... hummmm... oh well, it's paying off here....

Really though, it's that God has blessed me with a talent to pick up on the little details in life... I like to say.

Thank you for the gracious compliments!!

> Oh how I LOVE LOVE LOVE QUILTING!

I am on to making a quilted pillow now for my daughter.
Pictures coming soon :)
By Christmas time I may have a gift for everyone in the family!! ... Yippie!

Thank you so much for the fabric calculator website! Just what I need! So much quicker and easier than my noggin!!
