    alot a help. I've been wanting to make a quilt to years, but
    never had the courage, till I saw this site, and maybe I can
    do it. I am 60 yrs. old, live alone in an apt. have 3 grown
    kids, and 7 grandkids. oldest is 12 down to 4 months.
    I'm very nervous right now. My name is Chris And thank
    you for letting me be here.

    First how large a quilt do you want to make?

    What colors do you want to use. You can get a kids panel of dogs or cats or some other design and put a couple borders on it.
