ahhhhhhh, spelled wrong. Thank you, could not understand that. I thought had something to do with needlework on a square.

The only thing that is stupid is not asking the question.

I think there may be a typo here. I think she means piecing! It took me the longest time to call piecing piecing, a block a block and a square a square. A block is square - a bunch of squares make a block. I still call it a square sometimes when I should call it a block. I sometimes think that not knowing something is better than knowing it all and in quilting you never know it all. I would really like to know the original origination of the names of blocks (or was that squares). I find that to be extremely interesting. I also like to look at a pattern and say "I can't do this" and do it and discover how easy it was to do. I love days like that. Happy Quilting! Edie

That is what I love about this board. Everyone is so helpful and willing to share their experience.

Indeed. I love reading the questions and answers :thumbup:

My DH taught for many years. He's always said, the only stupid question is the one you already know the answer to! So ask away and don't worry how simple the question is -- we've all been there -- at the beginner stage.

I absolutely agree that there is no stupid question and beginners (and advanced quilters! :) ) should feel free to ask anything and everything.

The only thing that bothers me is when someone asks a question and they're told to use the search button. I don't mind pointing the search feature out to someone but an answer to their question in conjuction with pointing that feature out would be nice. Just directing them to the search feature kind of comes across like, "Take your questions elsewhere." Many members probably haven't been involved with a lot of forums so don't understand all the ins and outs.
