Post Subject: Beginning quilting
I started quilting when a friend invited me to a strip quilting class in our small community. It was so much fun! That was about 10 years or more ago and I love this craft -- as well as manhy others. I will look up the names of some of the strip quilting books I have purchased an send that along once I get back home from my holiday visiting my kids. ENJOY! Its a great way to spend time with others or alone.

points on corners may not be "pointy", binding may not not be perfect, not "square", use of "found" fabrics, etc. Those are precisely the qualities I look for in handwork.
Well said Bessiemae! I took a quilting class and the uniformity and perfectionism of it turned my stomach. It made me "forget" to bring my rotary cutter to class so I'd HAVE to rip my fabric. I know, such a rebel.
