I know you haven't even made the quilt yet but can I buy tickets or chances, whatever they are called??? I'd love to have a home made quilt. I'm a new quilter, haven't even finished my first project. I think anyone who wouldn't want a home made quilt...well, I can heat the rocks rattling around in their heads, LOLOL, just kidding. I think the pattern should be your own. I'm sure they would appreciate anything you produce. I love log cabin quilts myself.
