New here!
 
Hello all...I've never made a quilt and I'm ready to attempt one.
i saw one I liked named "squares family reunion". Can someone tell
me how to get the pattern? Thanks!

I'd start with Google and see what you can find that way. Welcome to an awesome forum!

here is a previous thread on the subject http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t143917-2.html posted by the 'designer' Linda Rotz Miller and she gives info on the sizes of the squares she used.
and in this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/52794248@N06/5040869895/ she states that she just made up squares
and this is her website http://quiltsandquilttops.com/

Go to advance search on the top right of this page and type in squares family reunion. There is a thread by the lady that made it , Linda Miller, it was posted a couple of years ago. You will have to scroll down to find it.
Nan, you beat me to the info.

Welcome....but a few words of warning.....before you attempt something complex as that quilt appears to be...and since you state you have never pieced/quilted before, may I suggest a bit of gathering of information for you via YouTube, books....purchased or obtained from library, a class at LQS for beginners.....then after a bit of practical and theory......GO SHOPPING!

Good luck with your first quilt. Hope it is simple. You might want to check out your LQS and see if any classes will help you. There is so much to learn. Welcome to the board.

Welcome from Louisiana, temporarily in Texas, headed to the International Quilt Festival in Houston Wednesday night!

I hope you know how to sew, because to create your own pattern to make your first quilt could be challenging. Some people thrive on challenges. There are many Youtube videos out there to teach you just about anything about quilting. We are all here because we love this hobby and are addicted to fabric.

Happy quilting,
Barb

Welcome, Joyellie. You're lucky to live in Atlanta where there are two big sewing and quilting shows a year. I think you will really enjoy this group of quilters who are so helpful and encouraging. Good luck on your new venture into quilting.

There's no pattern for the quilt you want to make. I'd suggest something a little easier for your first quilt. Try making a few square in a square blocks, maybe 8-12 blocks. Then see if you want to try making a block four times the size of your square in a square. Remember that each square has a 1/4" seam allowance all around, so the block ends up 1/2" smaller than the block before it's sewn into the quilt.
