Congrats on your first quilt.... I am looking forward to seeing many more. My hubby started quilting a year ago.. he was 50 then... wonder if it has to do with the age? He is totally hooked. He has a bunch of tops ready to quilt... most are for charity. There are 3 that are for specific people. There is a cool black and white quilt he made for our son's 15th birthday (it was in June)... there is a winter quilt he made for himself (Our daughter wants us to each have a winter/Christmas quilt for our Christmas card picture this year. Not sure we will get them all made!)... and he has a lovely floral he has made for his mother's 80th birthday this December. It is my favorite... mainly because it will be a total surprise to her and the rest of his family.. and it really is a son's love poured out to his mom. His quilts are all large! In fact, they grow and grow as he is working on them! We joke about it. I hope you enjoy quilting as much as my hubby! Barb C
