My now-ex-husband brought me a quilting magazine from the gas station when he went out for cigarettes late one night. I loved what I saw and since I'd just been given an old Singer (use it every day still!) I made some blocks...not great, and the colors reflect the fabrics that were on sale at Zayre's when we went, but I had fun! I still haven't made them into a wall quilt (4 12" blocks and 4 6" blocks) but maybe someday!
