I was inspired a lot of years ago just from seeing quilts so lovely. I started on 2 and then my DH moved us and it was put away. I have wanted to do quilts for ages but just never had the time until DH decided he didn't want to move anymore and retired. Couple yars ago I met a gal who done a lot of artistic quilting and she had them hanging all over her house. I was forever admiring them and then decide it was time to finish that long ago quilt I had started. Can't stop now. I did loose my DH a couple years ago so the quilting was a blessing in diguise for it kept me too busy to feel sorry for myself. I feel I am still very much a beginner but learning is something on going. Fabrics are wonderful and working on a bright and cheerful quilt is next to heaven........well as I imagine it!
