The person who said she wanted to make here own quilt hit the nail on the head. We aren't trying to be professionals and earn our living this way. That would not be fun, that would be a job! I quilt for fun and entertainment and to work with pretty colors and fabrics.
Your quilt was great and so are you, have fun and enjoy the results.
Love from a gal in Pleasant Hill Ca who is 85 and has a bundle of hobbies like writing memoirs, gardening, being trained by her cat, volunteering and QUILTING (no make that piecing, for I send mine to be quilted)
