A stacked coin quilt is a perfect beginner project, and I found I looked for these types of quilts for inspiration when I was starting out. So I made a group! <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/groups/stackedcoinquilts/pool/with/5020962038/ellesquarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491549265393670616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-50103328805304641302010-10-21T18:29:34.775-05:002010-10-21T18:29:34.775-05:00i love this group!

I didn't see this group mentioned: Quilting Bee Blocks [http://www.flickr.com/groups/quiltingbeeblocks/]. It's a great place for block inspiration and new techniques! And, if you wander through the "I Want In!" discussion, you'll see notices for new bees starting up. There's always something going on in the QBB!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522465711021907525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-7997951288084708742010-10-21T10:21:44.454-05:002010-10-21T10:21:44.454-05:00I like how the quilt top turned out.I like how the quilt top turned out.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769348919608645446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-22573709546421368522010-10-21T09:18:41.480-05:002010-10-21T09:18:41.480-05:00That was a lot of fun!

There's so much inspiration there, but it does make me feel a little overwhelmed. I do like the conversations that go on there, though.<br /><br />I loved that Scrappy Mug Rug swap - so many cute little masterpieces!<br /><br />I also love the My Morning Cup group, which has good conversation.<br /><br />Now I need to check out that Quilt Backs group because I have three quilts that are ready for backs. Might have to check out that Simply Solid Quilts too. Dang you!

I too have a plastic bag full of feet, I'm going to look for your 1/4 seam foot, who knows what the others do. I got it used off of ebay, sews well on thin silk to heavy quilting. And no computer to break down!!!!! Small negative it that it does not do zigzag, I used my old cheap machine to zigzag. thanks again for your great advice, :)jackiehttp://justmejackie@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
