I really appreciate all the help I can get. I still don't know how to put the binding on, my lovely mom-in-law does it for me and is in the process of teaching me. But she lives in another state. You ladies have been a great resource for me. Thanks in advance.
I still believe that a rail fence is the perfect quilt for a beginner. Only three or four fabric choices and it's hard to make a mistake with this pattern and has less matching edges than a nine-patch. The Chinese coin quilt is another one that's hard to mess up.
