    I have been reading all your helpful hints for some time. And because of your great comradeship I have decided to plunge into quilting. My first project-still in the making-combines my love of cross stitching. My oldest daughter (29 yo) picked a 18" cross stitch flower block with 2" strips that she wanted backed by dots. Intresting combo I do say, but I found a small dot fabric that has not only the block colors but also her home colors. So I won't be so overwhelmed this first go round I think I will find a LAQ to do her (his) magic. I'll post a picture when I have the quilt top together. I still have 2 blocks to cross stitch.
    I have started thinking on my 2nd quilt. This will be for my precious 5 yo granddaughter who is very much a princess girly girly. With this one, I want to learn how to paper piece a log cabin design show casing her intrests of princesses, Toy Story, and Cars. I think it will end up with 9 blocks
    Here is where I need everyones help. How do I make a foundation paper piece for what I want to create? So far I haven't found anything on you-tube that doesn't use photo shop. (I went glassy eyed trying to understand that one)
    Only 4 princesses will be the same size center . 1 princess, two Toy Story are larger. While the two Cars are the smallest.
    Is there anyone in driving distance to Joplin,Mo:Pittsburg Ks that is willing to help bring this vision to reality?
    Thank you all for all your wisdom in sharing.

    Hello, and welcome from Eminence, Mo. I'm too far away to help. There are a lot of people on the board from MO and KS.
