Well okay. Instead of sitting and looking at something and wondering how hard it will be "just begin" the rest easy.
I'm a beginner so I say that to myself alot. :thumbup:
Good for you Kim! You'll be a pro in no time!

Got it. That's cute. Wish I'd thought of it.
I don't know why but Frank seemed to fit mine. The prurple one is Henrietta. MY DDs know I'm weird but it's okay - some of us just let personality quirks hang out more than others. :)

How nice of you to reach out and share with us - I'm also new at this - joined my first class today - been quilting taking tips from here and there for a year now. Thought it was time to get some formal training.

GO with your instinct and use the fabric that makes YOU happy, no matter how much the old nag in the Quilt Store tells you how wrong you are.

When the pattern is very involved and you have never done it before MAKE A TRIAL BLOCK. You can test the instructions, the measurements, and the manner of assembly.

For all involved patterns, make a detailed plan that you can check off each step. It helps me keep the work going and everything in line.

My best wishes to all you quilters, old and new!!
Enjoy the journey not just the destination. That's a good thing to keep in mind with anything you do. Enjoy the journey!

I use Magic Sizing on my fabric. No stickiness and doesn't take much at all!
