My first quilt was a large lap quilt, that was a challenge quilt in the guild that I had just joined. It was a quilt for a Wounded Soldier, and they never got mine sent, and gave it back to me. It will finally be sent off this fall with some others. They asked if I would like to keep it, since it was my first, but I told them that I made it for a Soldier that has fought for my freedom, and that is who should get it. I have only kept 3 small wall hangings in 6 years. One was a practice watercolor, and two others were challenge pieces for quilt shows. Everything else I make and give away. I keep saying, someday I will make something for me. :)
