My first "quilt" wasn't actually quilted. I made it in 1979 to cover a ceiling in the living room of an old Hawaiian home that dripped detritus(cockroach crud etc.) I started with a center square and sewed strips on the sides then top/bottom till it was big enough to cover the room. I learned years later(2005?) that this is a form of log cabin blocks. I've sewn many more of those OBW's since then and also sew them when I want to relax with an "easy-to-sew" quilt. No pins, mindless sewing etc. I'll post pix later when I figure out how to do that. Right now I'm just getting used to using the internet(believe it or not). LoL
