my first quilt was a baby quilt for the first child of our church's youth pastor. that little boy is now about 10 and his 3 siblings used it too. It was from a book of baby quilts and was an easy log cabin type with a large square in the center and about 4 or 5 large logs around it. I had novelty fabric with ducks wearing boots and raindrop fabric. That was the beginning of my quilt-making. before that i had only quilted large floor pillows for my kids.
