I've been waiting so long to be adopted. They keep telling me I'll get adopted soon. Although I'm notmin too much of a hurry I'm only 63 years old!! LOL

I've pieced and made wall hangings but do not know how to really quilt! Do you quilt before you add the binding or after? I have a small candle mat that I'm working on right now and will be ready to quilt very soon Help!

It seems that we are all newbies and nobody wants to adopt us! Maybe we should just adopt each other! :lol:

Count me in as a newbie in search of adoption :) I guess the veteran quilters are too busy quilting to take on 'kiddos' - lol.

Anyway, I've done simple patterns without too many problems - I FMQ all my quilts (stipling seems so much easier than trying to quilt straight lines, to me - haha). I'd like some guidance on the best ways to cut and piece for accuracy. Getting things to line up just right is my biggest challenge!

Anyone who can help me out would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

I'm having the same problems with lining things up. Maybe that comes with practice!
