Quilting is the subject

You might take a look at rec.crafts.textiles.quilting (I don't quilt, so I have never subscribed to that group).

Good luck,

I don't quilt either but I have been seriously toying with the idea of maki ng a king size as you go quilt using the Dresden plate pattern. I've alrea dy gotten the template for the 'spokes' and the inner circle. I've already bought a bit of fabric as well and plan on adding to my stash every few wee ks.

I do have a dedicated sewing/craft/bedroom (bedroom is a distant third in t his description) but need some sort of system to store material. I do see lots of those plastic rolling chests/drawers but they really haven't peaked my interest.

on a quilt top called Squash Blossom which I got from the quilting magazine Fons and Porters "Love of Quilting" March/April issue 2014. As you can te ll from the theme that it is native American pattern. I am doing it in bri ght rust material with Indian designs, turquoise, hot pink, bright yellow. The border will have Indian rust print. Let me hear from any of you quil ters or if you know of a quilt group please give their address.

Hello Beverly, Thank you for your information. I have a chest that I keep all my fabr ics in except for small left over pieces and they are just in a tub. Since I like scrappy quilt this tub get used quite a bit. Now as far as the Dresden plate pattern, you might want to make somethi ng really easy first, like just a 2 1/2, 3, 4, 5 inch blocks all the same s ize. maybe a wall hanging, table topper, baby quilt for friend/relative, ju st something small to start with first. A huge king size quilt might over w helm you as a first. Good luck on your project. Sandy$

When I start this it will be a quilt as you got king size quilt. The block s will be sewn and quilted one at a time thus making it manageable througho ut most of the project. It's pretty much the Betty Cotton Theory Quilting method. I know a lot of people do wall hangings but they are just not my ' cup of tea' nor are baby quilts.
