some day I will get it quilted. it is just a lap quilt but I love it.
Used to make my own clothes also. Made all of prom dresses cuz they never had exactly what I wanted. Also made a dress from some gorgeous satin beaded fabric my grandparents brought back from Hong Kong. In retrospect, sure would be nice to still have some of them, as well as the ones my Mom made when we were younger. But, she is not a "saver".
