A great general, all purpose site was suggested by a student in California; Samantha. Samantha and her fellow students have been using OWQG's site as a resource in their Home Economics class. Check out www.bedroomfurniturespot.com/bedroom-comforters-guide-to-quilting. The site opens with a brief history of quilting and an overview of the quilt making process. 20 useful links to organizations, tutorials, articles and more resources are part of this site's resources. Thanks, Samantha.
