You know you're a quilter if:
.....you insist that the floor tiles in your new den are 12" square, so you can lay your quilt top or backing down and square it up perfectly.
....You start saving those jeans the kids outgrow instead of donating them. They will make an excellent jean quilt someday.
....You find yourself NOT telling your kids where you are going so that you won't hear "Oh no, not another quiltshow!"
....You look at the skirt of the person next to you in an elevator and envision it cut into 6" squares.
.....You need new clothes and spend two hundred dollars on material instead!
....Your weight has shifted since childbirth and you are removing some "small" items from your closet and run across a sundress you wore on your honeymoon. At that very moment, your DH walks in and says, Oh, I always liked that dress, don't give it away. And you're thinking to yourself, give it away? huh! that's cotton!
....you ask for fabric or gift certificates to fabric stores instead of other gifts for your birthday, anniversary, or Christmas.
....You try and decide if it's fair to have an equal budget for your daughter's college tuition and your quilt habit...$100 for her...$100 for quilt stuff...hmmm seems pretty fair to me.
....When your Keepsake catalog arrives in the mail, you read it end to end before even looking at the rest of the mail.
...A book of block patterns sits on your bedstand instead of a novel.
....Your husband knows the names of block patterns and occasionally even knows what pattern they go to.
....Your trash never has fabric scraps larger than 1" by 1" in it.
....You carry around more pictures of your quilts, than of your children.
....If you are in a strange city and spot a quilt store, you almost cause an accident trying to do a u-turn.
....Your sock drawer has fat quarters in it.
....You buy your daughter a dress because you like the cotton print not because she would look good in it.
....You pet fabric.
