Made Decision on First Project
#1
First, let me say that I introduced myself last week and was overwhelmed by the "welcomes." I've never been part of such a friendly, helpful internet group. So thank you. I received lots of helpful suggestions, mostly "Start Small." Well, I did take that seriously and gave it lots of thought; but I'm both optimistic and stubborn. So I am going to try a quilt for my bed. If I get tired of working on it or get discouraged, I'll just stop and find a smaller project for a while and put this one on hold.
Here is a picture of my fabric. The pattern I have chosen is the one I was looking for last weekend. Green with the squares positioned on point. Here is a picture of my fabric. That was hard! I had my cart full of fabric trying to find the perfect selections. I hope it doesn't end up blah. I've seen such gorgeous colors on this board. But I like light colors and pastels. So I'll give this a try. Wish me luck. I'm going to start cutting tonight.

Good Luck. I know that you will have fun. Remember that we are here and provide help if you need it. (Maybe not me as I often need help) but there are a lot of wonderful men and women on this board. Colors are great. Can't wait to see what you did. BrendaK

Those are lovely fabrics! Wonderful colors!!! Good luck! As a newbie myself, there's one thing that helps me make accurate cuts (besides the right tools, etc) and that's to remember to have good lighting in the room. I have several lights in my sewing room that I rearrange...esp. at night...to get the lighting that I want to make sure I'm seeing things just right. Looking forward to seeing your quilt!
