I was shopping with a friend for fabric to make my DH and I a new outfit for square dancing, I used to make my skirt and his shirt to match. It is fun for sq. dancing. Well any way my friend said to me if you bought one more choice of fabric you could make a quilt. I said how would I do that and my friend said" Oh.I will teach you" So there you have it. That was 20 yrs ago.I am still quilting.
