For this beginner quilter this is what it's all about. My skill level matches the blind eye the recepients will use to look at my treasures. Knowing that my loving hands had touched every inch of that quilt - many times - just does something for me. The pouring of ME into that fabric turned my lowly offering into something wonderful. The binding is an absolute mess - but on there very securely! I wish I'd used deeper seams and hope, hope, hope it won't pull apart when it's washed, but ... Grammy Love is all over that thing!

Thanks for sharing in my first step into this world.
