    I would love some help with easy pattern ideas and hand piecing and hand quilting advice.

    Thank you!
    Welcome from New Hampshire!
    I too find hand piecing very relaxing. I have a 45 minute drive to and from work each day.....my DH drives and I quilt!
    You can find a wealth of free simple patterns on the internet, just do a search and explore!
    Happy quilting!

    You can draw a 1/4 inch line on the wrong side of the pieces.
