Made my first quilt :oops: as the result of a swap that we did at our elementary school among staff members who were interested in sewing. Two of the members were quilters. I still can't believe the awful blocks that I made to swap. At the time I didn't even know that blocks had names. :lol: Well, I was one of the first ones to assemble the blocks into a quilt. To this day, some have not put theirs together. That was in '95. Then I made the first of my t-shirt quilts. (Had a stroke in there somewhere and used the quilt in my rehab.) I haven't made a favorite one yet. I like all of them -- even the whole cloths and the quillows I make for the kids. The little quilt that I have received most pleasure for making is a little 6-hour quilt I made for a then 4-yr-old who travels back and forth to St. Jude's in Memphis. His mom told me that he loves his quilt and that he has worn it ragged. He is now 7. Last week I delivered a new quilt for him to take on his next trip to Memphis. He had told me a while back that his quilt was "getting too small." What a sweetheart. This little boy's grandmother was an awesome quilter. She passed away a few years ago. So quilts are near and dear to their hearts.
