My SIL quilted and I have always sewn all sorts of things, so decided to give quilting a try. My first was a lap quilt for my husband, a split rail fence. The focus fabric had airplanes on it. I picked the fabrics then went to a Saturday morning class. We brought whatever project we were working on and they helped. They picked an easy pattern for me, batting and backing and even showed me how to quilt it. He loved it to death, well nearly to death as it is falling apart now, and that was 11 years ago. I haven't stopped. They just keep getting more inventive and challenging.
