Bee_Kay replied: Ohhhh!
I made my first quilt last month and bought a sewing machine.
The quilt is for my daughter.

I also know how to crochet, and a few years ago I crocheted an afghan for my son (and they take so darn long) so I decided to try a quilt.
It turned out really nice.
I didn't go for a real difficult one. Just squares, rectangles and strips. I actually shocked myself and my daughter loves it.

I want to try a quilt next.....but I have never done it before. I would also like to learn to make afgans.

Bee_Kay replied: I was pretty nervous making it, but it turned out ok.
The only mistake I made was a couple squares didn't line up exactly right (off by maybe 1/2 inch). Other than that, it went pretty fast.

Bee_Kay replied: I've made probably 10 afgans (most of them were baby afghans for when friends had babies).

I've only made 2 fullsize ones though.

Most of the time, I get started on one and get alot of time into it, then I get frustrated and rip it all apart and start over.
Then I get overwhelmed and say "heck with it" and toss it aside! LOL
