thank you everyone for the encouraging words. I think I will try my hand at quilting by starting with the youngest grandsons quilt (it is smaller and easier to handle :lol: )
For those who asked about the dinasour and motorcycle fabric, I bought from my local quilt store they have a website www.quiltcountry.com. The backing for the motorcycle quilt is actually a full size sheet that I bought off ebay.
I will keep everyone posted.
One question, where can I get a tutorial on how to load the long arm frame? I think it is about time I tighted up my belt and took a swing at my longarm....we will see who wins the machine or me..... :lol:

Great job on the tops for your grandsons. Did they help you pick out the fabrics? It's really hard to find fabrics for boys! Your LQS is a winner for having all of the ones you used!
I really agree with whoever said PRACTICE WITH FABRIC YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FIRST! Don't take a chance on ruining one of those nice tops you made for your grandsons!
