My first was a crazy quilt I made for my kids and liked it so much I made another on. I think back now and wonder what ever made me start making a quilt or a crazy quilt for that matter. I must have seen something on tv or something. But I'm glad I did. Now I've gone on to different quilts. None as some of the beautiful quilts I've seen on here, but beautiful to me and my kids. After that, I went on to 9 patch, star blocks and pineapple. With every quilt I learn more and try something just a little bit more complicated, at least for me. I'm teaching myself as I go along, and also with about 100 quilt magazines for instruction.
