My LQS (Happiness is Quilting in Mckinney TX)has a beginning class and the piece they were using is a pattern you can buy that had strips alternating with rows like flying geese, nine patch and other things. Go their website: happinessisquilting.com and they may have a sample in the class section. Good luck

Hello Audrey, No advice just comment, My mothe who just passed from cancer in March was also named Audrey and when I saw your name on the board It just brightened my day! She was the youngest of 6 children and the secound to pass away. My Aunt who was like my secound mother passed away first her name was Ethel. You have the best name ever and I am so grateful for you to be on the board. Have a wonderful Day! Ms. Shawn :mrgreen: :-o :thumbup: :XD: :wink: :lol:

I LOVE your quilt! It looks line a 9-patch and a rail fence. I think I could figure it out, but if you are willing to send the pattern it would save me some brain cells and some time.
I sent you a PM (I think) with my email address. I'm not too familiar with this site yet, so if you don't get my PM please let me know.
Thanks!!!!!

It was simple enough for a beginner to do a good job and have a nice quilt, but not so simple that it looked simple.
If you would like, I'd be happy to send you the instrucitons via email or snail mail. Credit to my quilt teacher Lorraine G. from the local community college.
