You will see ....
you will start simple, then you will start branching out, then you will start experimenting ... it is a process <g> we all go through it to one degree or another, and it is a necessary part of becoming proficient in anything.

I am definitely very excited to start trying this....I just need to make something to practice with first! most likely a pot holder or baby quilt but we are heading to Disney in a couple of weeks and I still have a couple of dresses I need to make my daughter so those are first! then back to the quilting. it's so much fun, I love it more than making clothes because i HATE zigzagging all the edges w/ dresses and skirts. I don't have a surger :cry:

Great job, and on a first quilt too. Now you have been bitten by the quilting bug. We're looking forward to seeing more and more beautiful quilts from you.
