I am new to the list and new to quilting, so often have "stupid questions" and would love to have a mentor. I think I'd like to try a rag quilt. It looks like it would be a good beginners project. I've only worked with fleece crazy blocks that were sewn together and tied rather than quilt-stitched

My first fleece quilt

I'm new on here too and new to quilting. I've made two quilts, one a baby quilt and the other a lap quilt. I've used pretty basic patterns, strips of various colors with borders. Right now I'm making Christmas stockings for my daughters and their families. I want to make sure I get it done in time! :) When I finish them I'm going to start on lap quilts for each of my daughters. I'd like to try a four patch or a nine patch.

I am a newbie to quilting but I was around relatives that quilted when I was young. I have been making baby quilts and teen quilt throws for my grandkids. My daughter suggest I make and sell them to her friends. I made a Dora quilt and A Cars quilt now someone is harrassing me saying I can't sell them because of licensing. What is the Deal?

I'm just going by pro sports teams posters and items being put into bars. The bar has to be sanctioned by the NFL, MLB, NBA as an "official" team bar. I'm guessing that since it's a copyrighted fabric, you can't officially sell it. You can give it away, but not sell it without permission from the company.

Our church makes no-sew fleece blankets for Project Linus and I save all of the corners that have to be cut out to make the ties. So I decided since I had bags full of corner squares I'd try putting them together like a quilt. Then I knotted the top to a plain fleece back and then blanket stitched the top to the bottom around the edges. Then I cut the ties from the plain fleece and tied them. Now our church has made some to sell to raise money to buy fleece for more Project Linus blankets!

Oh what a good idea. I just signed up today as a brand new quilter and I dearly need to be adopted. Who is willing to adopt a newbie with an expensive Babylock.
