My first quilt was supposed to be a full size log cabin that was going to be a wedding gift for my brother. I had been sewing for many years and thought surely I can teach myself to quilt. Got a "Quilt in a Day" book, material, and with 5 children under 8, thought I have plenty of time while they nap and are at school. Finished the top but couldn't decide on the borders so it grew, once the borders were added, to about the size of a California King. I liked the look of the top too much to give it away so 19 years later, I am hand quilting this first project. Hope to have it done by their 20th anniversary this fall for my bed.
