We all help each other with anything. Right now we are doing a traveling quilt. We recieved premade quilt squared from a swap challange through the Modern Quilt Guild. The blocks are all sizes and we are challenged to put the blocks together. We have had to make additional blocks and add sashings to connect the blocks and make it work. The quilt will be beautiful when finished. Keep looking. You will find the right group to work with and like the others here have said, you do have us.

But, but Fayzer, you're the youngest 69 year old I've EVER known! So naturally you'd fit into a Modern Quilt Guild 'seamlessly' ahem pardon the pun :0)
