I learned to quilt the Old fashioned way. I still enjoy it every once in a while. I would like to teach a class in it just to pass the knowledge along to the younger generation and not let the way it was done to die out. I do use the newer methods ,Elna machine,rotary cutters,strip piecing or acrylic templates because I am 78 and there are so many more quilts that I want to make. LOL
