Hello Everyone

I am thinking about learning to quilt. Is the paper peicing the way to go when first starting? Any suggestiions. I have never quilted anything before. Just looking for a new hobby, and new friends.

One of the first blocks I made was paper pieced.
There are different levels of blocks, I like it because it is easy to get precision.
Square in a square or pineapple blocks are a couple of good ones to get your feet wet.
If you have any questions feel free to ask here :D:D:D

Welcome! I don't like paper piecing. I think I'd start with a simple patchwork (squares) or a 9 patch or 4 patch. Or better yet, a brick pattern-that way you don't have to worry about matching seams. I would avoid triangles for now. (I still avoid them-I'm a beginner too).

I think the best way to start is to take a beginner class. You get to try lots of different ways of doing things and then you can find your favorites! By the time you finish, you will have a completed quilt and plenty of knowledge to do your next one on your own!

Hi from Australia!
My first quilt was all scrap squares, and I progressed from there. Paperpeicing I cant get my head around, tried it twice and failed twice. Cant do it to save my life.
Beginner classes are great, or if you have a friend who can shw you the basics, then let your imagination run wild!
