Re: started quilting...
congratulations!!!my mom is a 'professional' quilter (professional that she teaches classes)
here is a good tip....get DH to iron your pieces...my mom cuts and sews...then leaves piles for my dad to iron...since he is retired...
where are you taking the class?

Re: started quilting...
I would like to take up quilting. I think it is such a beautiful art/craft. Are you doing this with a friend?

Re: started quilting...
My FIL's aunt made Jeff and I a miniature Baltimore Marriage Quilt for our wedding...it is BEAUTIFUL, and everytime I look at it, I can't even imagine the amount of work and hours of love that went into it...all done by hand from a 75+ yr old woman. It is a treasured piece to us, and hopefully will be to our children and grandchildren someday.

To answer all your questions:
My FMIL is teaching me...we are starting with an 'Around The World' pattern which you can finish in a day, but I'm not pushing it!
