    I am new to quilting...I finished my first full size in February and just finished a fun quilt for my new niece. I grew up watching my Aunt quilt and then once my daughter was a few years old, I had some time to start this amazing craft more full time. I am basically self taught and learned many skills from YouTube, but I want to congratulate all you fine folk for an amazing Board. I have learned so much from tutorials and reading posts...it is awesome!! I am in the process of doing a hand stitched paper pieced quilt from the remnants of my niece's quilt for my Daughter, but am enjoying pics for some fall quilting motivation. I look forward to an amazing future with the vast amount of knowlegde found here!!
