Just have to respond to this thread. my husband wanted we to make a quilt for him when he had to have a by pass surgery. You can see it in a thread " I don't see much quilting in My future". His surgery was in August and he used it constantly. Still does. He is currently in the hospital and has it with him again.He picked out the colors and told me exactly what he wanted. His reaction to his quilt is all that I need to have my passion for quilting feed.
