Welcome to the board! I think after you make your first quilt, you should make your second for yourself! Then you will not only be able to wrap yourself in it, but everytime you do you can say to yourself: I MADE this! There are lots easy patterns on line, you can find some of them right here in the tutorial section.

Please, get yourself one and start enjoying the good life!

Watch garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales and auctions. The old quilts that I have are ones my grandmother and my mother made and I wouldn't part with them even for Bill Gates money.
