Oh what fun you will have Jeff. Windy Moon is such a neat shop. I haven't been to the mill ends store for years. I will have to check it out the next time I come over to see my brother. I love about 5 hours away so don't get over that way too often.
Have fun at your class...be sure to take some pictures and post here so we can all enjoy the time with you.

OK, I DID POST THIS BUT JUST WAS PLAYING AND FOUND OUT HOW TO POST UNDER SOMEONE'S NOTE....YEAH. SO REPOSTING TO U HERE:
THIS IS REALLY NICE, WOULD NOT THINK OF QUILTING AND THEN TIE IT .......I HAVE MADE A FLEECE ONE AND TIED IT BUT NO QUILTING, SO NICE, THANKS FOR THE IDEA. I AM NEW TO THE BOARD AND QUILTING AS WELL. JUST LOVE WAHT U DID, KEEP QUILTING

Maybe you should consider an applique pattern? Or english paper piecing. There are lots of neat patterns for those out there. Is there a quilt guild in your area or a quilt shop that offers classes? Good luck!! Happy Stitchin'
