I forgot to add that you can google quilterscache and there are fabulous patterns, all free, from A-Z or from 1" to 16+". I use all my patterns from them. The instructions are easy to understand, some are templates (they give you the pattern for that) some are paper piecing and they also stick pins in to let you know from easy to hard. I am in the process right now of finishing 15 block, 12" square quilt (each block different and as soon as I am done with that I am making a 48 block, 12" square quilt, and the blocks from the 15 block and the 48 block are all different in the 12" square. That's a lot of 12" blocks! I wanted to make a quilt with blocks I have never used before. Should be fun. Enjoy! Edie

Me, too. I'm in east central Iowa, 25 mi. W of Iowa City. You can have a lot of fun here, and it's one place you can play and learn all at once. Welcome.
