Glad you pursued your dreams of having your own made quilt. My interest started when I was finished high school and my fiancee was in the Navy. I needed something to fill my time so my Mom gave me a cardboard triangle and all of her sewing scraps which I turned into my first quilt. We borrowed a large quilting frame from a neighbor, set it up in our basement and I tied it. I had it many years till it got frayed and then I used it as batting and covered it with another fabric, till that wore out too. I think it got chucked after that. But it did stir my interest in making quilts and making quilts for my children. I was hooked.
