Thanks!
A nice pattern is the yellow brick road or turning twenty.
Happy Quilting

I agree, the Yellow Brick road is perfect for beginners. They can finish it quickly and really get enthusiastic and feel accomplished about piecing.

My first quilting teacher called the raggedy the "forgiving quilt." It didn't matter if the seams weren't matched, it was forgiving.

Hole in the Barn Door, and Log Cabin are some good choices.

Sharonb, where would I go to find that pattern "Warm Wishes'? I need to make a quilt and I want to show off the rather large print, and am having a terrible time finding a pattern for one. It's going to be a quilt for a man.
Any help?
Thanxs ever so much.

dkabasketlady,

I love the idea of a sampler to learn different techniques. Then you can decide for each block if it's a thumbs up - don't really care either way, or a thumbs down. It's OK to do a single block of a pattern you don't care for but imagine having to finish an entire quilt.

I just finished one using the disappearing nine patch. Love
it. Its a little bit more work but the results are great and
it doesn't matter about seams matching up. LOL

A nice lap quilt would be 4 12" or 10" blocks by 6 blocks. Add borders to get the finished size you would like.

Check out the patterns I put in the Tutorial section. They are very easy :wink:

D9P patch quilts are easy too!!!
amma: please how do I pull up just your tutes? :lol:
