Welcome from South east of you. I live down close to Truman Lake. Hope you emnjoy your time here as much as I do. Wonderful and very helpful people on here. Good luck with your quilt. I would try a smaller one tho to start. Not so discouraging if you decide to quit. June

Think real hard about how much you are letting your friend influence what you really want to do with your quilting, because that's what it is, your quilting, not hers. If your gut is telling you that you need to have a project that can be finished so you can show it off, and doing something with no completion date in sight feels daunting, then follow your instincts. They will lead you in the right direction. Much better that you do something small, and learn to love quilting, than that you become so frustrated with the process that an unfinished quilt sits unfinished because you gave up on it. Make what you want to make, and only what you want to make, and not what your friend wants to talk you in to making, and that's the first step towards success in quilting. Now I'm going to shut up and go quietly away. Best Wishes!

Keep it fun with no stress, especially your first few projects. Perhaps nothing larger than a lap quilt to start out.
...and Welcome from S.E. Texas! :)
