wh hubby and i were first married i had two boxes that you slide under the bed.that was my quilt box.then when a friend or someone at work needed a baby blanket i would pull out my box and start one for them.then two boxes became four,then five and so on.i love fabric.sometimes i go to the fabric store-joann's or ben franklins in utica ohio or sometimes a new store-i go and look and see what is available.no project at all in mind-just go buy a yard or two.if i really like it 5 or 6.then the projects make themselves mathes whaen i get home or after that.other times i go with specifics in mind.it's fun either way!
