Retired several year ago and now am working on a small quilting business. I prefer the old fashioned styles such as the rail fence or the log cabin. At least once a year I make an old fashioned block anything goes quilt for my granddaughter. She isn't interested herself but I want her to have something in the cedar chest that she can say 'my gramma made this for me in / year! I also enjoy the country style star patterns. I'll need to start next on the great grands...one boy one girl and one on the way....
