Hi Nancy and welcome from the sunny central coast of California. I'm no pro for sure. Got hooked on Jenny's tutes. It has been a wild ride since then. I love scrap quilts. I am working on several right now, testing blocks. Check out fat quarters and also MSQC also has bags of scraps from their cuttings. Other sites do too. Might also be a way to get a variety of pieces. Glad you are joining us!
