Come Join Us in the Quilting Forums

Friday July 13, 2007
We have lots and lots of new visitors coming to the site now! I want to make sure you all know about our three quilting forums, because they're the best places around to talk to other quilters and to join all sorts of quilting swaps. The General Quilting Forum is the oldest and busiest forum on the site, and the place to discuss just about anything related to quilting. There's an off-topic folder for friendly banter, so you don't have to talk about quilting all the time. The Art Quilts Forum is newer, and focuses on the techniques and inspiration behind those special quilts. Then there's the Quilting Professionals' Forum--the newest kid on the block. It serves a couple of purposes. It's the forum quilting pros can use to tell us about their products and services, and a place to discuss the challenges of running a quilt related business.

Once you're inside the forums it's easy to skip from one to another by using the Visit Related Forums drop-down box in the upper right hand corner of each one. You can enter as a Guest and read as many posts as you like, but membership is quick and easy -- and free -- and you can change your account preferences in lots of ways once you have a login ID and password. I hope you'll join us -- About Quilting is a great place to hang out.

I have been looking for a free pattern called the orange peel quilt. it has circles and some how when your done the front and back is done. some how you fold the edges over so you can see the back also . I don’t know if this is the place to ask about this or not but thought I’d give it a try.
thanks keep up the good work

Hi Carol, Someone used to have a pdf pattern to download, but I can’t find it. Here’s a page with patterns you can order — see if this looks like it:
