what a fun question! I took my first class at the Quilting Parlor in Enid OK, in about 1989, made a log cabin quilt, strip pieced, for the friends who allowed me to stay at their house and babysat for my son who was 3yo at the time, it was their 50th wedding anniversary gift. The quilt has since been passed on to their daughter who has been a very good friend since we worked together 30 years ago! I have been quilting ever since! It is truly my therapy!
