I was told, after her death, that my Aunt used to quilt. I don't remember ever seeing one of her quilts. I started quilting when I saw a mag. in the 80's with an article saying I could make a quilt in a day. I don't think it was Elenore Burns who lead the group but I decided I could do that. I read the information and started to get what I could afford. I got a srlf sealing mat (no grids in those days) but I don't get a rotary cutter since I could not figure out how to use it. Instead I did a lot of tearing of fabric and measuring with a metal ruler and pencil. It took me two weeks to finish that quilt but I got it done! Now I cut with a rotary cutter!!
