I made my first couple of quilts/projects and then put it down for a few years. I don't know why, really.
I got really into scrapbooking at that time, so maybe that was why. I didn't have time to do them both.
I still bought fabric that I found for great deals, though, during that time. Not a lot, just small things like stuff that was crazy cheap.I never intentionally said "I'm taking a break" or anything, so I was still "planning" quilts in my head. Before I knew a few years had passed.
When I did pick it back up, though, it was with a vengance! LOL! I was obsessed with it!
