Then when our newbie's or experienced 30 yr sewers needing help with a specific technique. PLEASE, post exactly what your question is. Some have connected with something in common, and "adopted" someone. But we have so many needing help, not near enough people to adopt, so it's great to post openly, and someone will find the answer and post back... but this way, everyone get's to learn from each other's questions. And sometimes more than one option is shared. I have learned 4 ways to do a log cabin quilt, I believe there are at least 3 ways to applique. Several ways to baste a quilt. Several ways to actually "quilt" your final stage of making your quilt. I know I'm still learning myself, but hope I can help someone really new to quilting also. I think quilter's are among the friendliest people. Debbie

If your doing a yo yo quilt, again, the yo yo's are sewn together without anything behind them, usually.
If this isn't your question, please try again. Debbie

TjNurse93, I will mentor you if you would like. I have only been quilting for about 2 1/2 years but don't let that scare you. I took my first quilting class in August 2008 and now I am making custom quilts for people. I can do foundation paper piecing, stained glass, mosaics, and applique. Right now I am working on a custom order Celtic king size quilt then I have two sports teams throw quilts to make. I'm taking a class for the "Rose of Sharon" quilt which I pretty much know how to do everything except for the quilt as you go part. If you would like to see pics of what I have made for my website, craft shows, and customers just let me know.

PAPER PIECING:
I'm planning to try it for the first time to do the heart quilt in the current issue of Quilters World Mag I found several instructional videos by googling "paper piecing" Looks like fun and maybe easier than piecing.
