K. :-D I am brand new to the site, but have been enjoying reading here. (I'm 54)
I read the first 16 p of this thread & the last handful.
what is the newbie challenge? Is it hooking up with another quilter? Or an actual project?
Finished projects:
1. 12 sq 9 patch throw at age 12, tied
2. queen sized water bed quilt in the mid-eighties, this was just 2 widths of fabrics. Some of the fabs are very interesting. clothing I had made in the 70's. rust, orange, aqua, olives, :shock: (tied)
3. log cabin throw (gift), set in diag rows, machine quilted STID the color change only in the diag rows.
4. 8 pt star throw (gift) continuously (one unending STID, around all blocks with no duplications -- yeeeaaa!) machine stitched around all blocks
UFO
1. 8 pt/4 patch/9 patch Q started in high school. The 4 patch is diag in the bit between 2 starts at the touching points, the 8 patch is the sq between 4 stars. for me
