I live in the middle of nowhere and few of my friends quilt. I appreciate M* for providing everything from tutorials to materials. My internet connection is marginal, so I subscribe to The Block so I can have a written version of all the directions for featured tutorials. I have met a lot of nice people, but more than anything I can quickly get a question answered or input given on a quilting quandary. I get lots of ideas fron the pics of quilts posted. I have pretty much taught myself to quilt and this forum has really help polish some very rough skills. Thanks everyone for the help and motivation!
