That's why I love this board! Different folks ... different opinions! I LOVE reading a variety of information about quiltmaking, but tend to choose what is pretty, quick and easy. I enjoy quilting, but have limited time, so I want to get it done! I do love a variety of color, but my Mom, who is 89, constantly reminds me ... "quilting is using what you have and making something warm and useful from it!" She is my inspiration!
